DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point): Standardized identification method for data used in layer 3 QoS prioritization
Dante Transmit Flows
This device supports up to two transmit flows and two receive flows. A single flow consists of up to four channels, through
either a unicast or multicast transmission.
A unicast flow is a point-to-point connection between two devices, supporting up to four channels per flow.
A multicast flow is a one-to-many transmission, which supports sending up to four channels to multiple receiving devices
across the network.
Shure Device Applications
This device can connect with up to two Dante devices.
The Shure MXA310, ANI22, ANIUSB-MATRIX and ANI4IN support multicast transmission. This means that flows can transmit
to multiple devices -- as many as the network can support. If using unicast flows, each of these devices can connect with up to
two Dante receiver devices.
The Shure ANI4OUT connects with up to two Dante transmitter devices.
Packet Bridge
Packet bridge enables an external controller to obtain IP information from the control interface of a Shure device. To access the
packet bridge, an external controller must send a query packet over unicast UDP* to port 2203 on the Dante interface of the
Shure device.
Send a UDP packet with a minimum 1-byte payload .
Note: The maximum accepted payload 140 bytes. Any content is allowed.
The Shure device will send a response packet over unicast UDP to the controller, using a destination UDP port identical
to the source port of the query packet. The payload of the response packet follows this format:
Bytes Content
0-3 IP address, as 32-bit unsigned integer in network order
4-7
Subnet mask, as 32bit unsigned integer in network or
der
8-13 MAC address, as array of 6 bytes
Note: The Shure device should respond in less than one second on a typical network. If there is no response, try sending the query again after verify
ing the destination IP address and port number.
