DANTE LEVEL 2 PRACTICE TEST EXAM QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS MARKED A+
✔✔Audinate engineers invented the idea of using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to
synchronize audio/video devices. How does it work? - ✔✔The clock leader distributes a
date-time reference with incredible accuracy. Each device then derives the required
sample rates and/or frame rates from this date-time reference.
✔✔What can Dante Firmware Updater (part of Dante Controller) do for us? (Select all
that apply.) - ✔✔It can update the Dante firmware on a device, but check with the
manufacturer's web site for update instructions. Some devices may require other
firmware to be updated before the Dante firmware.
It can do a quick scan of devices on your network, compare it to our online database
and tell you if firmware updates are available for any devices.
✔✔Is it possible to verify Dante traffic performance? - ✔✔Yes, Dante Controller's
latency screen will show packet arrival times. If it doesn't make it within the latency
window, it counts as a "late packet".
✔✔Match the distribution method with its definition: - ✔✔Broadcast: From one to all
Unicast: From one to one
Multicast: From one to many (with IGMP)
✔✔A broadcast network transmission: - ✔✔transmits from one to everyone on the
network
✔✔Quality of Service (QoS) allows some traffic to be prioritized over others. When
would be a good time to consider engaging QoS? (Select all that apply) - ✔✔When we
have traffic on a converged network, so there is something to de-prioritize.
Whenever 100 Mbps Dante devices are on the network.
When ports begin to approach saturation, say around 60%-80%.
✔✔When configuring IGMP Snooping, how many switches should be IGMP Querier(s)?
- ✔✔One - there can be only one
✔✔Suppose a switch has 8 queues on it. Which queue number would typically have the
highest priority? - ✔✔8
✔✔A network that carries multiple, possibly unrelated data types (like internet, VoIP,
Dante, etc.) is: - ✔✔called a converged network.
✔✔Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to
three different receiving devices? - ✔✔Yes. the channel must be set as multicast.
