Redundant connections

Redundant connections entail a network consisting of 2 lines, a main line (PRIMARY) and a sub-line (SECONDARY). Normally the PRIMARY line carries communications, but if a problem occurs, such as an interruption to the PRIMARY line, then communications switch automatically to the SECONDARY line. A network environment more resistant to failures can be built by connecting in this way in a star configuration than by a network constructed in a daisy chain.

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 = REDUNDANT
  • 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.

NOTE
  • HA remote cannot be operated from the SECONDARY side.
  • No SECONDARY function is available under DZR-D/DXS-XLF-D Dante.
