Appendix: How to Set Up IP Address
With 1U ESP without Dante® Card, Analog Input to MSA12X, No Router
1. Connect PC and all the devices to the network.
2. Set IP of PC to DHCP.
3. Launch Dante Controller.
a. Make sure all the Dante Devices (incl. MSA12X arrays) appear.
b. At this point, all the Dante Devices should be
i. IP: 169.254.xxx.xxx
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
4. Change IP of all the Dante devices to static:
i. IP: 192.168.0.xxx (e.g. 101, 102, …)
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Each time you change the IP, that Dante device may disappear in the Dante Controller, or even if it can be
seen, you may not be able to assign Dante subscriptions. This is OK.
