Dante PCIe-R Card

-19-

Connecting Primary and Secondary redundant networks to the same

switch

When using Dante redundancy with any Dante-enabled device, two separate networks must be used.

You CANNOT connect any secondary network connections to a switch used for the primary network, or

any primary network connections to a switch used for the secondary network.

Please refer to Network Configuration for information about the correct configuration to use.

Dante Audio Traffic over Wireless Networks

Wireless Ethernet networks should not be used to carry Dante audio traffic, and Audinate applications

installed on a PC or Mac will not allow selection of Wireless Ethernet interface, or any other non-standard

wired Ethernet interface.

You should not install any wireless components in your Dante network.

Use of 100Mbps Network interface

The use of 100 Mbps network with a Dante PCIe-R is not supported.

You must only connect a Dante PCIe-R to Gigabit interfaces:

n Gigabit switches, or a Gigabit port on an Ethernet switch

n Gigabit network interface on a PC or Mac
