11.5 Network configuration
IP addressing is handled by the Dante software:
Automatic network configuration
A Dante-enabled device connected to a network will automatically setup its own network
configuration, including its IP address.
If the network has a DHCP server, which may be the case for installed networks, it will
receive its IP configuration using the standard DHCP protocol.
On a network without a DHCP server, which may be the case for temporary or smaller
networks, the Dante-enabled device will automatically assign itself and address using link
local protocols, in the same way PCs and printers often do.
See Audinate Dante Controller User Guide, 2016 Audinate Pty Ltd.
Note: DHCP is the preferred method of IP allocation when using Dante.
The E-Dante64 card IP address is set by the Dante controller. This IP address
is different from the main Eclipse Matrix (LAN) IP address.
Clear-Com recommends that the Eclipse Matrix (LAN) IP address uses a
fixed/static IP address.
11.6 Installing a replacement or backup card
When you remove an E-DANTE64-HX interface card from the Clear-Com matrix
rack, any channel subscriptions (connections) that have been made in the
Dante Controller are removed as they are stored on the card. You need to re-
apply these subscriptions in the Dante Controller using the Load Preset
function for the backup card.
1) Remove the front E-DANTE64 card from the matrix rack by gently
opening the side ejector tabs and pulling the card out of its slot.
2) Carefully insert the new card and push it home, closing the side ejector
tabs to secure it in the matrix.
3) Open the Dante Controller and apply the required preset configuration
(File>Load Preset).
The new card may have pre-existing configuration on it. Use the Dante
controller to make sure that the configuration is as you want it.
At this point, you can either use the card immediately, or you can check that
audio is flowing as required and keep the replacement card aside for use when
needed.
