In order to congure an CDT100 both to set up its internal parameters and also setup audio roung, the PC will need to be able

to communicate with it over the network.

While all Dante devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address setup on the PC, communicaon can only occur if the PC

and the device have compable IP addresses.

By default, CDT100 is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante devices, if the CDT100 device does not nd a DHCP server

to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an automac private IP address (APIPA) instead.

An APIPA is always in the range 169.254.x.y.

To ensure communicaon, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a stac IP address in the range

169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to take aect.

Further informaon on IP setup for an audio system using Dante can be found in the FAQ’s on the Audinate website

(hps://www.audinate.com/resources/faqs).

There are two parts of the device that require soware to setup:

1. The audio roung.

2. The congurable features of the device itself.

The audio roung should be carried out using Audinate’s Dante Controller, available for Windows and Mac OS X from the Audinate

website www.audinate.com along with instrucons on how to use the soware and seng up routes on a Dante network.

Dante Controller is a free soware applicaon that enables you to route audio and congure devices on a Dante network.

With automac device discovery, one-click signal roung and user-editable device and channel labels.

See the overview link for more details on Dante audio networking.

4.1 - IP Address Setup

Important Notes:

 When using Dante controller, the CDT100 will be shown using a default device name of CDT100-###### where ‘######’ is the

last six characters of the devices MAC address.

 Failure to correctly congure IP addresses will not allow an CDT100 device to correctly authencate in the soware and while it

will show up in Dante Controller. The input and output channels won’t be visible and roung of audio to and from the CDT100

will not be possible.

Features:

 View all Dante-enabled audio devices and their channels on the network..

 View and edit device clock and network sengs

 Route audio between devices, and view the state of exisng audio routes

 Rename devices and channels using your own friendly names

 Customize the receive latency (latency before playout)

 Save and reapply audio roung presets

 Edit presets oine, and apply as conguraons for new network deployments

 Change sample rates and clock sengs

 View mulcast bandwidth across the network

 View transmit and receive bandwidth for each device

 View device performance informaon, including latency stats, clock stability stats and packet errors

 View comprehensive, congurable event logs
