Connections
The DNT processors send and receive audio via the 
Dante network, and to and from local devices con-
nected directly to them.
Gigabit Ethernet switch
Using Switched and Redundant Modes
NOTE: See page 8 for instructions on 
selecting the mode using Dante Controller 
software.
Set processors to the Switched mode for setup. 
In the Switched mode, the Primary and Sec-
ondary ports can be connected in any combi-
nation since there is an ethernet switch in the 
hardware.
In the Redundant mode, the Primary ports on 
all processors must be connected to the first net-
work and the Secondary ports on all processors 
must be connected to the second network.
After all connections and settings are completed 
and the system is passing audio through the net-
work, connect the second network and set the 
processors to the Redundant mode.
