Daisy chain connections

A daisy chain is one way of connecting devices like a string of beads. It is a simple network structure with no need for network switches. It is used for simple systems with only a few connected devices.

The more devices are connected, the more latency is required. In addition, if a system failure occurs, such as a disconnected cable, it cuts off the network at that point, and communication with further devices in the chain is lost.

Example of connection of AUTO SETUP DM3 and I/O device

Make connections as follows using the Dante connector of an I/O device with the DM3.

Configuration of I/O devices

Configure as follows when connecting to Tio1608-D or DZR-D/DXS-XLF-D using the DM3 AUTO SETUP function.

[Configuration of Tio1608-D]

  • UNIT ID = 1
  • SECONDARY PORT = DAISY CHAIN
  • START UP MODE = REFRESH
  • QUICK CONFIG = OFF

[Configuration of DZR-D/DXS-XLF-D]

  • UNIT ID = any ID from 1-8
  • MODE (DANTE MODE) = STANDARD

When using Dante Controller instead of AUTO SETUP, configure each of the I/O devices according to their instructions.

Configure the UNIT ID of DZR-D/DXS-XLF-D on the DANTE SETUP screen of the DZR-D/DXS-XLF-D speaker.
