name of ST-M48D-B-, again followed by
a unique suffix that’s based on the MAC
address of the Ultimo integrated circuit.
The four Dante input (receiver) channels
have the default names of Ch1 In, Ch2 In,
Ch3 In, and Ch4 In. The four Dante out-
put (transmitter) channels have the default
names of Ch1 Out, Ch2 Out, Ch3 Out, and
Ch4 Out. Use Dante Controller to revise
the names as would be appropriate for the
specific application.
Configuration using the Front-
Panel Buttons and Display
Some applications may benefit from being
able to configure key network parameters
using the pushbutton switches in conjunc-
tion with the LCD display. This allows each
network interface to be independently con-
figured without requiring the use of Dante
Controller. This ensures that both Model
48D network ports can be accessed under
a variety of network conditions. In most
cases it will be simpler to use Dante
Controller but this alternate method isn’t
much more time consuming.
The structure of the front-panel menu
system is shown in Appendix A located
at the back of this guide. Review the appen-
dix first before attempting to make configu-
ration changes. Navigating to either the
Net A IP Config or the Net B IP Config
screens will cause the currently-enabled
method for obtaining the IP address and
subnet mask to be shown. If a change is
desired press the Enter button and both
choices, Automatic and Manual, will be
displayed. Use the left and right buttons
to select the desired method. Then press
the Enter button for the choice to be stored.
If Automatic is selected then a prompt will
display asking if a restart is desired.
A restart is required for a change to be
-
come active. If a restart is requested then
only that specific network interface
will be impacted. That one Dante network
connection will be terminated followed by
a restart which will include either DHCP
or link-local being used to obtain the IP
address and subnet mask.
If Manual was selected for the configura-
tion method and the Enter button was
pressed the menu will change to the
IP Address screen which will display
the currently-stored fixed or “static” IP
address. This value can be revised using
the left, right, up, and down pushbutton
switches. When the desired IP address is
displayed press the Enter button to store
the value. The menu system will automati-
cally move on to the Subnet Mask screen,
displaying the currently-stored value. Use
the left, right, up, and down pushbuttons to
make any desired changes and then press
the Enter button. A prompt will then dis-
play asking if a reboot is desired. If Yes is
selected followed by pressing Enter button
that specific interface will reboot and the
stored IP address and subnet mask values
will be used.
If the NET A IP Config or the Net B IP
Config screen is already enabled for
Manual then the IP address and subnet
mask values for that interface can be
directly edited. Moving to the IP Address
screen will show the currently-active IP ad-
dress. And since the configuration method
is Manual then this value is the same as
the one that is stored in memory. Press
the Enter button and the edit mode will
be enabled. Use the left, right, up, and
down pushbuttons to make any desired
changes and then press the Enter button.
The menu system will automatically move
