Device and Channel Names
The Model 5330 has a default Dante device
name of ST-M5330- followed by a unique
suffix. The suffix identifies the specific
Model 5330 that is being configured. The
suffix’s actual alpha and numeric characters
relates to the MAC address of the Ultimo
integrated circuit that’s present in the spe-
cific Model 5330. The four Dante output
(transmitter) channels have the default
names of Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, and Ch4. The
four Dante input (receiver) channels have
default names of Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, and Ch4.
Using Dante Controller these names can
be revised as appropriate for the specific
application.
Network Parameters
Using Dante Controller the method used to
determine the network IP address can be
selected with the choices of Automatic or
Manual. Details about the automatic pro-
cess can be found in the Technical Notes
section of this guide. If Manual is selected
a specific IP address can be entered along
with the subnet mask value. Typically a
device reboot is required for new network
interface values to be utilized.
Sample Rate and AES67 Parameters
The sample rate of the Dante interface can
be selected with choices of 44.1 kHz and
48 kHz. Several pull-up/pull-down value
configuration choices are also available.
The ability to support AES67 can also
be selected with choices of Disabled or
Enabled. If selected for Enabled the sample
rate is automatically configured for 48 kHz.
This is because 48 kHz is the only sample
rate that can be supported when a Dante
interface is compliant with AES67.
Audio Channel Subscriptions
The Model 5330’s four Dante output
(transmitter) channels must be routed
(subscribed) to the desired Dante input
(receiver) channels on associated devices.
The Model 5330’s four Dante input (receiv-
er) channels must be routed (subscribed)
with the desired output (transmitter) chan-
nels on associated Dante devices. This will
typically be done with the Dante Controller
software application. Within Dante Con-
troller a “subscription” is the term used for
routing or connecting a transmitter flow (a
group of output channels) to a receiver flow
(a group of input channels). The Ultimo
integrated circuit used in the Model 5330
limits the number of Dante flows to four,
two in each direction. These can be unicast,
multicast, or a combination of the two.
Operation
At this point the Model 5330 should have its
Ethernet, audio input, audio output, and AC
mains connections implemented as desired
for the application. The four Dante out-
put (transmitter) channels and four Dante
input (receiver) channels should have
been routed (subscribed) using the Dante
Controller software application. In addition,
network and operating parameters should
have been configured, also using Dante
Controller. Normal operation of the Model
5330 can now begin. The unit is designed
for continuous operation with no regular
maintenance required.
Initial Operation
The Model 5330 will begin its power-up
process as soon as AC mains power is con-
nected. As an integrity check all the LEDs
located on the unit’s front panel will light
