Reboot Dante: This menu page allows
the Dante interface to be rebooted (re-
started). This can be useful to force the
Model 5401A’s Dante interface to utilize
revised Dante primary IP address and
related parameter configuration changes. It
can also be useful when troubleshooting a
Dante network issue. An arrow icon shows
in the upper-right corner of the reboot Dante
menu. To start the process of rebooting the
Dante interface press the Enter pushbutton
on the unit’s front panel. This will lead to
a confirmation page being displayed. Use
the left and right arrow pushbutton switches
to select the desired action. The choices
are to cancel or to confirm. Press the Enter
pushbutton switch to select the highlighted
action.
Note that if the Dante interface is rebooted
it may take 20 to 60 seconds for the Model
5401A’s operation to fully restore. And
during this time period the management
Ethernet port will also disconnect and then
reconnect.
