ment ports. The Dante primary and manage-
ment fields will show either Link Down or an
IP address. The Dante secondary field will
show Disabled, Link Down, or an IP address.
Link down will display if an Ethernet connec-
tion has not been made to the appropriate
RJ45 jack on the Model 5401A’s back panel.
Disabled will show if Dante redundancy has
not been enabled in the Dante Controller
application. The 32-bit IP v4 addresses will
be displayed in what’s known as dot-decimal
notation (4 octets, each separated by a dot).
How the IP addresses are assigned will de
-
pend on the Model 5401A’s network configu-
ration setting as performed using the Dante
Controller application. Each IP address can
be established automatically using a DHCP
server or the IPv4 link-local protocol. An
IP address assigned to the Dante primary
interface by link-local will have a format
of 169.254.x.x. An IP address assigned to
the Dante secondary interface by link-local
will have a format of 172.31.x.x. The Dante
primary and secondary IP addresses can
also be individually set to a manual (static or
fixed) IP addresses using the Dante Control-
ler application.
If the network configuration is selected for
switched the Dante primary IP address
will be associated with a network connec-
tion made to either the Dante primary or
Dante secondary RJ45 jacks on the Model
5401A’s back panel. Link down will display
if no connection is present. The IP address
for the Dante secondary interface will show
disabled as it is not being utilized in this
network mode. The management IP address
will be associated with a network connection
made to the management RJ45 jack on the
Model 5401A’s back panel.
If the network configuration is selected for
Redundant then the Dante primary IP ad-
dress will be associated with the RJ45 jack
labeled PRI on the Model 5401A’s back
panel. Link Down will display if a valid
Ethernet connection has not been made to
the Dante primary Ethernet interface. The
Dante secondary IP address will be associ-
ated with the RJ45 jack labeled SEC on the
Model 5401A’s back panel. Link Down will
display if a valid Ethernet connection has not
been made with the Dante secondary Ether-
net interface. The management IP address
with be associated with a network connec-
tion made to the RJ45 jack labeled MGMT
on the Model 5401A’s back panel.
If the network configuration is selected in
Dante Controller for Switched+Mgmt then
the Dante primary IP address will be asso-
ciated with a network connection made to
either the Dante primary or the Dante sec-
ondary RJ45 jacks on the Model 5401A’s
back panel. The IP address field for the
Dante secondary interface will show Dis-
abled as it is not be utilized. The manage-
ment IP address will be associated with a
network connection made to either the Dante
primary or Dante secondary RJ45 jacks
If the network configuration is selected for
Redundant+Mgmt then the Dante primary
IP address will be associated with a connec-
tion made to the RJ45 jack labeled PRI on
the Model 5401A’s back panel. Link Down
will display if a valid Ethernet connection has
not been made. The Dante secondary IP
address will be associated with an Ethernet
connection made to the RJ45 jack labeled
SEC on the Model 5401A’s back panel. Link
Down will display if a valid Ethernet connec-
tion has not been made with the Dante sec-
ondary Ethernet interface. The management
IP address with be associated with a net-
work connection made to the Dante primary
RJ45 jack located on the Model 5401A’s
back panel.
If the Model 5401A’s network configuration
in Dante Controller is selected for Switched
or Switched+Mgmt ensure that only one of
the RJ45 jacks on the back panel is con-
nected to the LAN associated with the Dante
