Network cabling
Category 5e or higher cabling is required. Cat 6 is preferred. The cable length between
any Dante unit and a switch must be less than 100m (328 ft).
To span wider areas, network switches can be fitted with fibre optic modules, allowing
you to greatly increase the physical size of the network.
RedNet Control, Dante Controller and DVS
These three software applications are key to the RedNet interfaces and Dante systems.
RedNet Control
RedNet Control acts as a remote control and routing centre for all RedNet products.
RedNet Control also acts as the ASIO control panel for RedNet PCIe when run in a
Windows computer. The following key components are installed:
• RedNet Control application
• RedNet PCIe ASIO/Core Audio driver
• Dante Controller
• Dante runtime support services
RedNet Control can be downloaded from: www.focusrite.com/downloads
Dante Controller
Dante Controller offers more routing flexibility than RedNet Control and also provides
the provision for control of third-party Dante products. This will be necessary for
advanced network setups.
Dante Controller is installed with RedNet Control, but can also be downloaded
separately from www.audinate.com
Please note that Dante Controller is developed and distributed by Audinate
