Dante Certification Level 2 Part A
Exam Q’s and A’s
What does Dante redundancy do? - -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? - -No. This will cause the
network to fail.
-How does one setup Dante redundancy? - -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? -
-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? - -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. - -does
-A unicast network connection is: - -- Communication that is only between
specific devices on a network
- Default Dante behavior
-A multicast network connection is: - -- One to many
- Useful for solving "Fan out" conditions
-A broadcast network connection is: - -- 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. - -4
-How does Dante Controller inform you that multicast is recommended? - -
With a "Fan out' warning.
-Dante Multicast Flows are manually created on an as needed basis. - -True
