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.
*UDP: User Datagram Protocol
The packet bridge does not allow cross-subnet command strings.
Digital Audio Networking
Dante digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet and operates using standard internet protocols. Dante provides low laten
cy, tight clock synchronization, and high QualityofService (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante de
vices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated net
work.
Compatibility with Dante Domain Manager
This device is compatible with Dante Domain Manager software (DDM). DDM is network management software with user au
thentication, role-based security, and auditing features for Dante networks and Dante-enabled products.
Considerations for Shure devices controlled by DDM:
When you add Shure devices to a Dante domain, set the local controller access to Read Write. Otherwise, you won't be
able to access Dante settings, perform a factory reset, or update device firmware.
If the device and DDM can't communicate over the network for any reason, you won't be able to control Dante settings,
perform a factory reset, or update device firmware. When the connection is reestablished, the device follows the policy set
for it in the Dante domain.
If Dante device lock is on, DDM is offline, or the configuration of the device is set to Prevent, some device settings are dis
abled. These include: Dante encryption, MXW association, AD4 Dante browse and Dante cue, and SCM820 linking.
Refer to Dante Domain Manager's documentation for more information.
Dante Flows for Shure Devices
Dante flows get created any time you route audio from one Dante device to another. One Dante flow can contain up to 4 audio
channels. For example: sending all 5 available channels from an MXA310 to another device uses 2 Dante flows, because 1
flow can contain up to 4 channels.
Every Dante device has a specific number of transmit flows and receive flows. The number of flows is determined by Dante
platform capabilities.
