MAC Address

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

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.

DANTE Primary Settings
