Network guide
This document is intended for system integrators and room planners and serves as a planning guide for the network integration of the TeamConnect Bar (TC Bar) in a room.
Network modes
To integrate the TC Bar into an existing network structure and control it, use one of the provided control software from Sennheiser such as Sennheiser Device Hub, the Local Web UI, or Sennheiser Control Cockpit.
Single Domain Mode
This mode is usually used if you want to use both the controller (Sennheiser or third-party provider) and Dante® on the same physical port with only one available IP in the same network.

  - Requirements
  - Control software
    The TC Bar can be operated and managed through multiple Sennheiser control applications.
  - Network modes
    To integrate the TC Bar into an existing network structure and control it, use one of the provided control software from Sennheiser such as Sennheiser Device Hub, the Local Web UI, or Sennheiser Control Cockpit.
    - Device-dependent network set-up
      Depending on the model, the TC Bar offers various options for integrating the device into a network.
    - Single Domain Mode
      This mode is usually used if you want to use both the controller (Sennheiser or third-party provider) and Dante® on the same physical port with only one available IP in the same network.
    - Dual Domain Mode
      This mode is generally used if you receive a merged flow from two separate networks via a single network line and you want to resolve this merged flow back into two different IP and MAC addresses.
    - Split Mode
      In this mode, the Sennheiser control software and the Dante Controller are located in different networks and both have different IP and MAC addresses. All data packages are untagged.

- FAQ
  The most frequent questions and answers summarized in a chapter.

Single Domain Mode

This mode is usually used if you want to use both the controller (Sennheiser or third-party provider) and Dante® on the same physical port with only one available IP in the same network.

To set up both configurations, you need a Sennheiser control software for the control network and the Dante® software (Dante Domain Manager or Dante Director) for other routed Sennheiser devices.

TC Bar S

The TC Bar S has only one network port and can only provide a merged flow for Dante® and control over a switch.

TC Bar M

The TC Bar M provides two network ports but using only one IP address in this mode.
One port can be used to control the bar over the network via Dante Controller and via Control software directly through a switch.
NOTICE
There is a potential risk of creating loops (see Danger of Network Loop).
- Make sure you always connect the TC Bar M to two different networks that do not run via a common switch.
The other port is used to connect routed Sennheiser devices (e.g. TCC M)
Any extensions connected can be managed both via the Dante Controller and via the Control software, as the Bar M forwards the flows using the integrated switch.
