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.
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.

  - 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.

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.

The Split Mode is available for the TC Bar M only.

This mode is generally used if you receive two different IP and MAC addresses (one for Dante® and one for Control). In this way, you want to operate the Dante® network and the control network independently of each other and use a separate switch for each network.

The Ethernet connections can be used to address the TC Bar both via the control software and via the Dante Controller as follows:

Ethernet port I: Control only
Ethernet port II: Dante® only

TC Bar M

The first Ethernet connection provides an IP address for the control software network only.
The second Ethernet connection provides an IP address for the Dante® network only.
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.
