• Before turning encryption on or off in the Shure device’s web application, you must disable AES67 in Dante
Controller.
• AES67 cannot operate when the transmit and receive devices both support Dante.
Shure Device Supports: Device 2 Supports: AES67 Compatibility
Dante and AES67 Dante and AES67 No. Must use Dante.
Dante and AES67 AES67 without Dante. Any other
audio networking protocol is ac
ceptable.
Yes
Separate Dante and AES67 flows can operate simultaneously. The total number of flows is determined by the
maximum flow limit of the device.
Sending Audio from a Shure Device
All AES67 configuration is managed in Dante Controller software. For more information, refer to the Dante Con
troller user guide.
1. Open the Shure transmitting device in Dante Controller.
2. Enable AES67.
3. Reboot the Shure device.
4. Create AES67 flows according to the instructions in the Dante Controller user guide (http://dev.audinate.com/
GA/dante-controller/userguide/pdf/latest/AUD-MAN-DanteController-3.10.x-v1.0.pdf).
Receiving Audio from a Device Using a Different Audio Network Protocol
Third-party devices: When the hardware supports SAP, flows are identified in the routing software that the device
uses. Otherwise, to receive an AES67 flow, the AES67 session ID and IP address are required.
Shure devices: The transmitting device must support SAP. In Dante Controller, a transmit device (appears as an
IP address) can be routed like any other Dante device.
Encryption
Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES256), as specified by the US Government Nation
al Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS197. Shure devices that support encryption re
quire a passphrase to make a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
To activate encryption:
1. Open the Settings menu and select the General tab.
2. Select Enable Encryption.
3. Enter a passphrase. All devices must use the same passphrase to establish an encrypted connection.
Important: For encryption to work:
• All Shure devices on your network must use encryption.
• Disable AES67 in Dante Controller. AES67 and AES-256 cannot be used at the same time.
