FAD Series Getting started
Configure and Operate the
Dante Connection
1. Download the Dante controller from the Audinate website at
www.audinate.com. Install this software program to your computer.
2. Open the Dante Controller from the computer start menu. Once loaded,
all Dante-enabled units in the network will show in this view. Your FAD
unit should show up as a Dante Receiver in the list.
3. To set up a connection with a Dante Transmitter in the network,
expand the FAD Dante channel list by clicking the plus sign to the left
of the device name. Expand the preferred Dante-enabled audio source in
the Dante Transmitter channel column list by clicking the plus sign below
the Dante-enabled audio source device name.
4. Highlight an intersection between the one of the FAD Dante channels and
one of the Dante-enabled audio source channels and left-click the mouse.
A successful subscription will show as a green check mark. If you are
unable to create a subscription or encounter a red 'no' symbol, there is
likely a configuration mismatch between the FAD and the Dante-enabled
audio source device (e.g. sample rate, bit depth etc). Configure the
Dante-enabled audio source device to match the default Dante audio
configuration of the FAD unit or configure the FAD device to match the
Dante-enabled audio source device settings in the dialog in Step 6.
5. To show the device status and change the configuration of the FAD,
double click the Device name in the same view. This window allows users
to change the channel labels, set up restrictions for editing settings,
and identify the physical device. Pressing the "Identify Device" button will
trigger the IDENTIFY LED to flash on the rear panel of the FAD unit.
