DANTE LEVEL 2 STUDY EXAM GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔A unicast audio or video subscription: - ✔✔IS the default behavior for Dante devices
✔✔Suppose a Dante device that is chasing an external clock (like word clock or video
sync).
What setting must be checked in Dante Controller? - ✔✔In Dante Controller, make sure
the "External Clock" checkbox is marked for this device.
✔✔The redundant port allows for a second network connection in case the first fails.
Which describes the operation? - ✔✔The primary and secondary operate full time in
separate broadcast domains. If the connection fails on one network, it will continue to
the other.
✔✔If a Dante device is in redundant mode, can the ports use different configuration
methods?
For instance, can the primary port be set to a Static IP and the secondary follow Link
Local? - ✔✔Yes
✔✔Which Dante software supports redundant connections? - ✔✔Dante Controller
✔✔The Dante clock leader election is an automatic process.
However, you can manually influence the winning device(s).
Which is the highest tier? - ✔✔Preferred Leader Checked
✔✔How many audio channels can be contained in a Dante unicast flow? - ✔✔4
✔✔What protocol does Dante for clocking? - ✔✔PTP
✔✔What is the "golden rule" about Dante redundant networks? - ✔✔Do not link the
primary and secondary networks - they must remain in separate broadcast domains.
✔✔Since the beginning of Dante, multicast flows could carry X channels per flow.
With newer firmware, multicast flows can carry up to Y channels per flow. - ✔✔Since
the beginning of Dante, multicast flows could carry 8 channels per flow.
With newer firmware, multicast flows can carry up to 64 channels per flow.
✔✔As a simple rule of thumb, how much latency should be allowed per network switch
hop? - ✔✔0.1 msec (100 microseconds)
✔✔Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to
three different receiving devices? - ✔✔Yes. The channel must be sent as multicast.
