Ethernet Settings

IP Mode
  • Automatic: The IP address is automatically assigned using DHCP. If no DHCP server is available, the IP address is assigned by the SL Rack Receiver DW itself.
  • Fixed IP: The IP address has to be entered manually.
mDNS
  • Off: Deactivates mDNS to reduce the data volume transferred across the network. This option is recommended for larger systems.
  • On: Activates mDNS to allow for automatic device detection. This option is recommended for smaller systems with up to 30 devices.
IP
  • Input of the IP address in Fixed IP mode.
Subnet
  • Input of the subnet mask in Fixed IP mode.
Gateway
  • Input of the gateway in Fixed IP mode.

  • Input of the IP address in Fixed IP mode.
Subnet
  • Input of the subnet mask in Fixed IP mode.
Gateway
  • Input of the gateway in Fixed IP mode.

Dante Settings

  • Automatic: The IP address is automatically assigned using DHCP or Zero Configuration. If no DHCP server is available, the IP address is assigned by the TeamConnect Bar itself.
  • Fixed IP: The IP address has to be entered manually.
  • IP: Input of the IP address in Fixed IP mode.
  • Subnet: Input of the subnet mask in Fixed IP mode.
  • Gateway: Input of the gateway in Fixed IP mode.
  • VLAN ID: VLAN ID field to be routed to the correct network (default = 100).

A VLAN separates a physical network into logical sub-networks. This enables several virtual networks to be created from one physical switch port. When using Dual Domain Mode, Dante® and Control Cockpit can be used separately. In case of Dante® network, this can be virtually separated and operated independently using a VLAN with just one network connection. The frames are given a tag containing a VLAN ID. This provides the switch port with information on which Dante® VLAN the frame belongs to.

DANTE Primary Settings

Displays editable IP address, Subnet and Gateway of the Primary DANTE port.

DANTE Secondary Settings

Displays the IP address, Subnet and Gateway of the Secondary DANTE port. You can edit the settings when using the network mode Audio redundancy.

Network Mode

The network mode defines how the different network interfaces on the device shall be used.
  • Single cable mode
    • When a device is set to Single cable mode, the secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device.
  • Audio redundancy mode
    • When a device is set to Audio redundancy mode, the device will duplicate Dante media traffic to both Ethernet ports, allowing the implementation of a redundant network via the secondary port.
  • Split mode
    • When a device is set to Split mode, the first Ethernet port will be used to control and configure the device via the network. The secondary Ethernet port will be used for the output of digital audio.

Network Mode

The network mode defines how the different network interfaces on the device shall be used.
  • Single cable mode
    • When a device is set to Single cable mode, the secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device.
  • Split mode
    • When a device is set to Split mode, the first Ethernet port will be used to control and configure the device via the network. The secondary Ethernet port will be used for the output of digital audio.
After changing this setting, the device will restart automatically.

Network Mode

Switched mode:
  • When the device is set to „Switched mode“, the secondary Dante port will behave as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device. In this mode the IP and MAC address of the primary port will be used.
Audio redundancy mode:
  • When the device is set to „Audio redundancy mode“, the device will duplicate Dante media traffic to both Dante ports, allowing the implementation of a redundant network via the secondary port. In this mode, both ports get a separate IP address.

MAC Address

Displays the unique MAC addresses of the device according to the connected ports.

DANTE Protocols

Enables a digital audio network protocol over Ethernet for routing and synchronization of Dante-compatible devices using the Dante Controller software.

DANTE Default Settings

Resets all DANTE settings to their defaults.

IPv6

You can choose between the following modes to configure the IPv6 network:

  • Link-local only
    • Supports only one IP address
  • SLAAC
    • Supports "Link-local IP" and "SLAAC" address / IP address in the prefix
    • The IP address is automatically configured at the interface
  • DHCPv6
    • Supports "Link-local IP" and "DHCPv6" address
  • SLAAC and DHCPv6
    • Link-local IP, SLAAC and DHCPv6 are all activated
