Star connections

Star connection refers to a method of connecting devices with a network switch in the middle. It can be used for a large network that requires a wide bandwidth by using a network switch that supports a Gigabyte Ethernet network switch. We recommend having various network switch functions (such as clock synchronization of any data line, or QoS that prioritizes voice transmission) for the purpose of controlling and monitoring the network.

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.
