Spectera Base Station - network configuration
Depending on the desired network address configuration all network interface (Control and
both Dante®) can be operated in following IP Modes with IPv4 only:
- Fixed/Static IP
- Auto IP (DHCP or Zeroconf)
Dante® restrictions
- It is not possible to deactivate the Dante® functionality for the both Dante® ports.
- Dante® ports are shutdown when the device is in standby mode.
- Network configuration of Dante® ports can only be done via Dante® Controller software application.
- By default the Dante® ports are configured to Auto IP. If Fixed/Static IPs have been configured and the device cannot be reached anymore, the IP Mode can only be reset to Auto IP by a Factory Reset of the device.
- The Dante primary and secondary networks must not be directly connected to each other (network loop). Make sure you always connect the Base Station Dante network ports to two different networks that do not run via a common switch.
Shared Network Mode
In Shared Network Mode both networks for Control and Dante® are using the same
physical network infrastructure.
- Configure both Control and Dante® networks over one switch / router.
- Use two different IPs to address the Control network and the Dante® network separately.
Split Network Mode
In Split Network Mode both networks for Control and Dante® are using different physical network
infrastructure.
- Configure both Control and Dante® networks over two different switches / routers.
- Use two different IPs to address the Control network and the Dante® network separately.
