Appendix: How to Set Up IP Address
Appendix: How to Set Up IP Address
We recommend having a router or DHCP server in the system for setting up, which will make the setup
process simple and easy. However there will be cases where you do not have a router/DHCP server. This
appendix shows example IP setting processes for typical situations.
For more complex Network settings, please contact the IT representative personnel.
Note: Dante® Controller must be installed on your PC (download: https://www.audinate.com/).
With EX-1280C or 1U ESP with Dante® Card, No Router
1. Connect PC and all the devices to the network.
2. Set IP of PC to DHCP.
3. Launch Dante Controller.
a. Make sure all the Dante Devices (incl. MSA12X arrays, ESP) appear.
b. At this point, all the Dante Devices should be
i. IP: 169.254.xxx.xxx
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
4. Change IP of all the Dante devices to static:
i. IP: 192.168.0.xxx (e.g. 101, 102, …)
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Each time you change the IP, that Dante device may disappear in the Dante Controller, or even if it can be
seen, you may not be able to assign Dante subscriptions. This is OK.
