Manual

Issue 2, July 2021 Model 5401A User Guide
Page 38 Studio Technologies, Inc.
Whenever the IP address configuration
is selected for Manual the manual Dante
primary IP address can be modified as
desired. This will be indicated by a circle
with arrows icon that will show in the up-
per-right corner of the display. To start the
process of changing the Dante primary IP
address press the Enter pushbutton switch
on the front panel. An icon with a wrench
and screwdriver will display to indicate that
an edit is in process. Use the left and right
arrow pushbutton switches to select which
specific digit of the IP address number is to
be modified. Press the up and down arrow
pushbuttons to select the desired number.
The standard dot-decimal notation is used
to display and revise the Dante primary IP
address. Once all the desired changes have
been made press the Enter button to store
them.
To cause the Model 5401A to use the new
Dante primary IP address setting requires
that the unit’s Dante interface be rebooted
(restarted). This can be performed using the
reboot Dante front-panel menu page. Re-
booting the entire the Model 5401A can also
be utilized to cause a new Dante primary
IP address to be used. This can be ac-
complished using the reboot system menu
page, using a function on one of the man-
agement webpages, or by power cycling the
Model 5401A. Restoring the Model 5401A
to its default values will not change a stored
Dante primary IP address.
Dante Primary Subnet Mask Value: This
menu page shows the stored subnet mask
value associated with the Dante primary
interface. (This value has nothing to do
with the subnet mask values utilized by the
Dante secondary or management ports.) It
will be utilized only when the manual mode
has been selected for the Dante primary IP
address configuration. When the IP address
configuration has been selected for Auto-
matic this field cannot be changed and a
lock icon will show in the upper-right corner
of the display.
Whenever the IP address configuration is
selected for Manual the subnet mask value
can be modified as desired. This will be
indicated by a circle with arrows icon that
will show in the upper-right corner of the
display. To start the process of changing the
subnet mask value press the Enter pushbut-
ton switch on the front panel. An icon with
a wrench and screwdriver will display to
indicate that an edit is in process. Use the
up and down arrow pushbutton switches to
select the desired subnet mask value. Once
the desired value has been selected press
the Enter button to store it.
To instruct the Model 5401A to use the new
Dante subnet mask value requires that the
unit’s Dante interface be rebooted (restart-
ed). This can be performed using the reboot
Dante front-panel menu page. Rebooting
the entire Model 5401A can also be used
to cause a new Dante primary subnet mask
value to be used. This can be accomplished
using the reboot system menu page, using
a function on one of the management
webpages, or by power cycling the Model
5401A. Restoring the Model 5401A to its
default values will not change a stored
Dante primary subnet mask value.
Ethernet Switch Configuration: This
menu page shows the Model 5401A’s net-
work configuration as determined by a set-
ting in the Dante Controller application. The
term “switch” refers to an Ethernet switching
and routing integrated circuit that is part
of the Model 5401A’s hardware. How this
integrated circuit is configured determines
the how the Model 5401A’s three Ether-
net ports will function. The field will show
Switched, Redundant, Switched+Mgmt, or
Redundant+Mgmt. It will also display Error
in the unlikely event that an error has oc-
curred in the Brooklyn II module that sup-
ports the Model 5401A’s Dante interface.
