Dante Certification Level 2
Part A (solved & updated)
What does Dante redundancy do? - answer
Feature that allows glitch-free flow of audio
through a Secondary network when the Primary
network fails for any reason
Can the Secondary (redundant) port on a Dante
device be connected to the Primary network to
increase channel count? - answer No. This will
cause the network to fail.
How does one setup Dante redundancy? - answer
Connect a second set of cables and switches to
create a network that uses only the Secondary port
of Dante devices
Can the Secondary (redundant) port be configured
to daisy chain devices? - answer Yes, but only on
certain Dante devices. Always check.
When would you select the "Enable Sync to
External" box for devices on the DC Clock Status
tab? - answer When a device is either a)
connected to an external word clock, or b) when
, using the internal clock of a device to drive a
Dante option card
Dante [ ... ] use unicast as the default mode of
transmission. - answer does
A unicast network connection is: - answer -
Communication that is only between specific
devices on a network
- Default Dante behavior
A multicast network connection is: - answer - One
to many
- Useful for solving "Fan out" conditions
A broadcast network connection is: - answer - One
to everyone
- Not used by Dante for audio
- A common type of network traffic
A unicast Dante Flow can contain up to [ ... ]
different Tx channels of audio from the same
device. - answer 4
