DANTE LEVEL 1 MAIN EXAMINATION TEST UPDATED
STUDY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔name some issues with daisy chaining - ✔✔doesn't work well for low latency due to
switch hops, issues with one device causes issue for all devices in chain
✔✔what is the recommended style of network topology for Dante? - ✔✔star aka hub
formation
✔✔star formation - ✔✔all devices are connected to a single switch
✔✔multiple star formation - ✔✔a switch joins two or more stars together to form a larger
network
✔✔what are the three network layers? - ✔✔layer 1: physical connections; layer 2: data
link (devices represented by fixed hardware address); layer 3: devices assigned
variable IP addresses
✔✔should you use automatic or manual IP addresses with Dante? - ✔✔automatic
✔✔direct communication is only available between devices in the same ________ -
✔✔IP address range
✔✔LAN - ✔✔local area network; contains a small number of devices with a common
address range
✔✔stand alone network - ✔✔a single LAN dedicated to one purpose; not connected to
other LANs
✔✔what are stand alone networks often used for? - ✔✔to separate the responsibilities
of the AV installer
✔✔how does automatic addressing work in Dante? - ✔✔when devices are connected
together, Dante will self-assign addresses that create a working LAN
✔✔what is Dante? - ✔✔a hardware and software solution that transports precisely
timed digital audio between devices using standard IP networking
✔✔positive features and benefits of Dante - ✔✔audio is synced to tolerance of < 1
microsecond; devices are discovered automatically, low latency and nearly jitter-free;
automatic reconnection after power cycle
✔✔how many channels per link is Dante capable of? - ✔✔512 x 512
