Installing Rednet Control; Audinate Dante Controller; Connecting Your Rednet Audio Network - Focusrite RedNet Installation Manual

INSTALLING REDNET CONTROL

All software required for a RedNet system is available for download from the Focusrite website
www.focusrite.com/register. The Software Activation card provided with your RedNet unit contains
validation codes which you will need to enter in the Downloads area. This procedure ensures that you
will have the most up-to-date software versions.
Go to www.focusrite.com/register, and follow the instructions on the software card to register your
product and download RedNet Control and associated software.
When all downloads are complete, install the RedNet drivers and RedNet Control application in the
usual manner. Follow all on-screen instructions from this point.

AUDINATE DANTE CONTROLLER

This software application is automatically installed when the RedNet Control is installed. Dante
Controller is a useful addition to, but not essential for, simpler systems. Most RedNet functions can
be controlled from RedNet Control, but non-standard routings can be be defined in Dante Controller.
Dante Controller can also be downloaded from www.audinate.com. Register first, then download and
install.

CONNECTING YOUR REDNET AUDIO NETWORK

Remove any Ethernet cables connected to your computer (these can be reconnected after setting
up RedNet - either to the Gbit switch, or to any additional vacant Ethernet ports you have on your
computer).
Connect a vacant Ethernet port on your computer to a port on your Gbit Switch with a Cat6 Ethernet
cable. If you have installed a RedNet PCIe card, connect its Ethernet port to a port on the Gbit switch
with a second Cat6 Ethernet cable.
Connect the Ethernet ports on the rear of each RedNet I/O interface in the system to further ports on
the Gbit switch with Cat6 Ethernet cables.
The recommended order of powering the components in a RedNet system is as follows:
• Power up the Gbit switch;
• Power up all RedNet units on the networks one by one (power-on sequence takes approx.
40 s per unit)
• Boot the host computer.
