This provides the following general information about the device:
■
Manufacturer: The name of the device manufacturer.
■
Model Name: The model name of device.
■
Product Version: The product version.
Dante Information
This provides Dante-specific information about the device:
■
Dante Model: The Dante device type.
■
Dante Firmware Version: The version of the Dante firmware running on the device.
■
Hardware Version: The version of the hardware firmware running on the device.
■
ROM/Boot version: The version of the ROM or bootloader.
Clock Synchronization
This provides the following information about device clocking:
■
Mute Status: 'Muted' indicates that the device is has been automatically muted (due to a clock
synchronization problem, or because the external word clock is invalid). 'Unmuted' indicates that the
device is not muted, and audio is flowing normally.
■
Sync Status: 'Locked' indicates that the device is locked to the network PTP clock. 'Not Locked'
indicates that the interface has not achieved lock with the network PTP clock.
■
External Word Clock: 'No' indicates that the device has been configured to use the internal clock
source. 'Yes' indicates that the device has been configured to accept an external word clock source.
NOTE: If the Dante device is configured to accept an external word clock source, it is important to
make sure that the host equipment has been configured to provide its word clock to the Dante
device. Check your product manual for more information.
■
Preferred: 'No' indicates that the card has not been set to preferred leader mode. 'Yes' indicates
that the card is set to preferred leader mode.
■
Frequency Offset: Indicates the offset from the network clock leader measured in parts-per-mil-
lion.
Interface
Provides the following information about the primary network interface:
■
IP address: The IP address currently assigned to the interface
■
MAC address: The Media Access Control address of the interface, associated with the Ethernet layer
■
Tx Utilization: Shows the current total transmit bandwidth in use
■
Errors: (on the same line as Tx utilization) shows the number of transmit Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC) or packet errors detected since the device was last started
■
Rx Utilization: Shows the current total receive bandwidth is use
■
Errors: (on the same line as Rx utilization) shows the number of receive Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC) or packet errors detected since the device was last started
Note:
The Rx Utilization includes not only network traffic destined for the Dante device, but any other
multicast or broadcast traffic received at this network interface.
Note:
As a rule of thumb neither the Rx nor the Tx utilization should exceed about 85% of the link speed
to guarantee good clock synchronization performance (links are full duplex).
The graphic also indicates the speed and connected state of the interface as follows:
