indicates that no valid network connection
is present on its respective network inter-
face. An LED that is lit green indicates that
the associated network has a successful
Dante connection and another device is
serving as the master clock source. If the
network LED is flashing green then it will
indicate that both a valid Dante connec-
tion is established and that this specific
interface is serving as the Dante network’s
master clock source.
How to Identify a Specific
Model 48D
The Dante Controller software application
offers an identify command that can be
used to help locate a specific Model 48D
network interface. When the identify com-
mand is selected the applicable network
LED on the Model 48D’s front panel will
flash. The backlight on the front-panel LCD
display will also flash. On the back panel
the SYS and SYNC LEDs, located directly
below the relevant etherCON receptacle,
will slowly flash green. After a few seconds
the identification patterns will cease and
normal Model 48D LED and LCD display
back-lighting operation will resume. Audio
performance will not be impacted by the
use of the identify command. As such it’s
perfectly acceptable to use the identify
command at any time.
Front-Panel LCD Display
The front-panel LCD display can provide a
number of useful pieces of information as
well as being used to configure selected
Model 48D parameters. Refer to Appendix
A at the end of this guide for a detailed
graphical explanation of the menus. The
functioning of much of the front-panel LCD
display and pushbutton switches has been
previously discussed in the guide. The Con
-
figuration section provided details on how
the pushbuttons, in conjunction with the
LCD display, can be used to configure the
IP address and subnet mask values. Earlier
paragraphs in this section (Operation) have
discussed what happens when the unit be-
gins operation due to power being applied
or a reboot command being initiated. The
following short paragraphs provide addition-
al information about specific menu pages.
Descriptions will only be provided for Net-
work A but will also apply, as applicable, to
the menu pages provided for Network B.
Net A Dante Name
This is a display-only field that indicates the
Dante name of the associated Dante inter-
face. It typically is thought of as the Dante
device name. Revising the name can be
performed using the Dante Controller ap-
plication. Note that in the case of the Model
48D there are two Dante interfaces so, in a
sense, one unit has two independent Dante
device names.
Net A IP Config
This field displays the method to be used
for establishing the IP address and sub
-
net mask values for the Ethernet interface
associated with Network A. The available
methods are Automatic and Manual. A but-
ton-press sequence can be used to change
this configuration. Refer to the Configura-
tion section of this guide for details. Revis-
ing the configuration method can also be
performed using Dante Controller.
Net A IP Address
This field displays the IP address actively
being used by the Ethernet interface as-
sociated with Network A. This value will be
provided by the DHCP or link-local process
