You can also assign device outputs (MAOUT 1 ... MDOUT 8) to MADI transmitter channels
(MADITX 1 ... MADITX 8). For better visibility the matrix has been divided by cutting off the middle part:

Set up GUI – INTERFACES – Dante I/O Interface – Status
The DANTE interface connects a D*AP4 to an audio over IP (AoIP) network. Junger Audio has
committed itself to the quasi industry standard DANTE developed by the company Audinate.
"Based on industry standards, Audinate created Dante, an uncompressed, multi-channel digital media
networking technology, with near-zero latency and synchronization ... One cable does it all. Dante does
away with heavy, expensive analog or multicore cabling, replacing it with low-cost, easily-available
CAT5e, CAT6, or fiber optic cable for a simple, lightweight, and economical solution. Dante integrates
media and control for your entire system over a single, standard IP network."
The network infrastructure for AoIP must be able to handle the IP multicast. The recommendation is to
separate the control network from the audio network.
For details pls. refer to the Audinate web-site: https://www.audinate.com. Here you will find many useful
application videos and FAQs.
To configure such an audio network you need the DanteController software. You can download it from
the Audinate web site. People who want to interface a PC or MAC to such an audio network can use
the VirtualSoundcard software from Audinate. It provides standard audio drivers to connect with
common sound tools.
We highly recommend to read the Audinate documents to understand how to set-up and operate
a real-time AoIP network.
Looking at the rear panel the RJ45 connector on the left is the primary port while the second connector
acts either as a redundant or as a switch port. Both RJ45s have built in LEDs. The left one shows
network activities (flashing green) while the right one indicates the interface speed,
with green=1Gbit/s and off=100MBit/s.
