Device IP Configuration
This Shure device uses 2 IP addresses: one for Shure control, and one for Dante audio and control. For most installations, the
Shure control and Dante audio IP addresses should be in the same subnet range.
Shure control
Carries data for Shure control software, firmware updates, and third-party control systems (such as AMX or Crestron)
Dante audio and control
Carries Dante digital audio and control data for Dante Controller
Requires a wired, gigabit Ethernet connection to operate
To access these settings in Designer, go to [Your device] > Settings > IP configuration.
Note:Refer to our FAQ if you're using Shure profiles on NETGEAR M4250-series switches.
QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable audio delivery on larger networks with
heavy traffic. This feature is available on most managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is
recommended.
Note: Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign Dante -associated queue values.
Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP events
Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.

Note: Switch management may vary by manufacturer and switch type. Consult the manufacturer's product guide for specific configuration details.
