in a test sequence. This will take approxi-
mately six seconds and then immediately
be followed by the application firmware’s
(embedded software) version number being
displayed for one second on the monitor
section’s 2-channel LED meter. At this point
preliminary operation will begin. Full Model
5330 operation will occur after Dante con-
nectivity has been established by way of
the Ethernet interface. This can take 30 to
45 seconds, depending on the configura-
tion of the Dante network.
Also upon Model 5330 power up the Eth-
ernet and Dante status LEDs on the back
panel will light in various manners. A status
LED, located below the USB receptacle,
will flash once to indicate that it is function-
ing. The two Ethernet status LEDs, located
below the RJ45 receptacle, and the two
Dante LEDs, located adjacent to the RJ45
receptacle, will light in seemingly random
ways as Ethernet and Dante network per-
formance begins. Please refer to a later
section of this guide for details on what
these LEDs indicate.
User Displays and Controls
On the front panel the user is presented
with a variety of status LEDs, level meters,
pushbutton switches, level controls, and
headphone output connectors. On the back
panel are five status LEDs. These resourc-
es are simple to understand and use and
should prove to be useful in obtaining the
desired performance.
Ethernet and Dante Status
LEDs
As previously mentioned, two status LEDs
are located below the RJ45 receptacle on
the Model 5330’s back panel. The LINK
LED will light amber whenever an active
data connection to a 100 Mb/s Ethernet net-
work has been established. The green ACK
LED will flash on and off green in response
to data packet activity. The SYS and SYNC
LEDs are located adjacent to the RJ45
receptacle and display the operating sta-
tus of the Dante interface and associated
audio-over-Ethernet network. The SYS LED
will light red upon Model 5330 power up,
indicating that the Dante interface is not
ready. After a short interval it will light green
to indicate that it is ready to pass audio
data with another Dante device. (It doesn’t
indicate that data is passing but simply that
data could be passing!) The SYNC LED
will light red when the Model 5330 is not
synchronized with a Dante network. It will
light solid green when the Model 5330 is
synchronized with a Dante network and an
external clock source (timing reference) is
being received. It will slowly flash green if
this specific Model 5330 is serving as the
clock master for the Dante network. (It’s not
expected that a Model 5330 will serve as a
clock master but technically it is capable of
doing that.)
How to Identify a Specific
Model 5330
The Dante Controller software application
offers an identify command (initiated using
the “eyeball” icon) that can be used to help
locate a specific Model 5330. When identify
is selected for a specific unit its eight signal
present/peak LEDs and two level meters on
the front panel will light in a unique pattern.
This festive display on the front panel will
make the unit readily identifiable. In ad-
dition, the SYS and SYNC LEDs, located
adjacent to the RJ45 receptacle on the
back panel, will slowly flash green. After a
few seconds the identification patterns will
cease and normal Model 5330 operation
