Page 5: Overview
User Manual 1 – Overview The unIFY CommandHub is a versatile tool for integrating 3rd party control systems with Dante audio networks. The CommandHub provides a simplified interface to control systems, allowing the programmer to interact with Attero Tech endpoint devices for parameter control using a name-based protocol and eliminating the need to communicate directly to endpoint devices using specific IP addresses. -
Page 6: Installation
The CommandHub can be mounted in several locations. The unit can sit on top of a table or shelf. There are also mounting holes on the underside allowing the CommandHub to be permanently mounted on virtually any surface and in any orientation. -

Figure 2 - CommandHub Application Diagram *Note: The CommandHub can’t be used if the control system uses the same network as the Dante network as it does not support this mode of operation. The control network must be separate network with a different set of IP addresses to the Dante network. -
Page 8: Configuration
3 – Configuration Configuration of the CommandHub is done by accessing its internal web interface using any device with a web browser. The web interface is available on any of three different IP addresses depending on which port the browser is accessing the web interface through: The IP address of the Dante Ethernet port if using the Dante Network port. -

CommandHub on the control network side. These commands are converted and then passed on to the device via the CommandHub’s Dante interface using a Dante proprietary protocol. Any responses from the device are delivered back to the CommandHub which in turn, sends them to the UDP Response port at the source IP address of the original command message. -

For example, if a Dante device goes off-line, the Network State Changed command will be asynchronously sent out each active TCP connection, if a controller is listening for the message they can then query for the updated device list to see which device has gone offline. -
