Model 5202
Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface
The two Dante receiver channels have de-
fault names of Ch1 and Ch2. Using Dante
Controller the default device and channel
names can be revised as appropriate for
the specific application.
Operation
At this point an Ethernet connection with
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability
should have been made. The unit’s Dante
configuration settings should have been
made using Dante Controller software
application. At a minimum a transmitter
source should have been routed to the
Model 5202’s two Dante receiver channels.
Headphone and line output connections
should have been made as desired. Nor-
mal operation of the Model 5202 can now
begin.
Initial Operation
The Model 5202 will immediately begin to
function after a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
power source is connected. However, full
operation may take up to 20 seconds to
begin. Upon initial power up the four status
LEDs located on the back panel will begin
to light. The meter LEDs on the front panel
will light in a test sequence. After the meter
LEDs complete their test sequence one
meter LED associated with channel 1 and
one meter LED associated with channel
2 will briefly light to indicate the version
number of the unit’s firmware (embedded
software). (Understanding how to “read”
the application firmware number will be
discussed in detail later in this guide.)
Once that sequence has completed and
the Dante connection has been estab-
lished audio signals can be available.
Ethernet, PoE, and Dante
Status LEDs
Four status LEDs are located below the
Ethernet connector on the Model 5202’s
back panel. The PoE LED will light green
to indicate that Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
associated with the connected Ethernet
signal is providing operating power for the
Model 5202. The LINK/ACT LED will light
green whenever an active connection to
a 100 Mb/s Ethernet network has been
established. It will flash in response to data
packet activity. The SYS and SYNC LEDs
display the operating status of the Dante
interface and associated network. The SYS
LED will light red upon Model 5202 power
up to indicate that the Dante interface is
not ready. After a short interval it will light
green to indicate that it is ready to pass
data with another Dante device. The SYNC
LED will light red when the Model 5202 is
not synchronized with a Dante network. It
will light solid green when the Model 5202
is synchronized with a Dante network and
an external clock source (timing reference)
is being received. It will slowly flash green
when the Model 5202 is part of a Dante
network and is serving as a clock master.
How to Identify a Specific
Model 5202
The Dante Controller software application
offers an identify command that can be
used to help locate a specific Model 5202.
When identify is selected for a specific unit
its meter LEDs will light in a unique pat-
tern. In addition, the SYS and SYNC LEDs,
located directly below the etherCON con-
nector on the back panel, will slowly flash
green. After a few seconds the LED iden-
tification patterns will cease and normal
