Control/Dante Settings IPv4

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.

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.

MAC Address

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

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is deactivated by default. In order to activate BT and connect the TC Bar to a BT-compatible device:

  • Click on Enabled to activate the BT function and wait approx. 10 sec in order to let the device process the initial activation.
  • Click on Start to start the pairing process.
  • In your device, search for your TC Bar name and click on Connect. If the TC Bar is not yet visible, repeat the pairing process again.
Devices that have already been paired are displayed under Known Devices.

DANTE Protocols

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

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.

DANTE Default Settings

Resets all DANTE settings to their defaults.
