7.2 Configuration of the unit
with the Dante Controller
1) Start the Dante Controller .
2) Wait for the signal converter DADC-144DT
and the units to which it is to be connected
to appear in the matrix .
Note: If the signal converter DADC-144DT or a
connection partner fails to appear in the list, the
reason may be that the unit
– has not been switched on,
– is in a different subnet,
– is not able to synchronize with the other Dante
units .
However, if one of the two last-mentioned reasons
applies, the Dante unit should at least appear under
the tab "Device Info" or "Clock Status" in the net-
work view . A fast solution of this problem may be
to switch the unit off and on or to disconnect and
re-establish the connection to the network switch .
For further information please refer to the user
manual of the Dante Controller from Audinate .
3) In the menu bar of the Dante Controller,
select "Device / Device View" or use the
shortcut Ctrl+D . The Device View window
will open .
4) Select "DADC-144DT" in the bar of the
drop-down menu appearing beneath the
menu bar .
5) The third bar can be used to indicate infor-
mation on the unit and to make settings .
Select the tab "Device Config" (see fig . 4) .
6) Adjust the "Sample Rate" to the desired
connection partner or set a different com-
mon sample rate for both units, if required .
7) In the field "Rename Device", the name
used for the unit in the Dante network
can be changed (e . g . to a specific name
referring to the place of installation) . Click
"Apply" to confirm the change .
8) Use the tab "Network Config" to change
the network settings for the Dante inter-
face of DADC-144DT, if required .

7.3 Routing with the Dante Controller
To assign the input signals and output signals
of the corresponding units:
1) Under "Routing" in the window "Network
⊞
View", click
to open the channels of the
desired unit under "Dante Transmitters"
and the channels of the desired connec-
tion partner under "Dante Receivers" (see
fig . 5) .
2) Navigate from the column of the Dante
transmit channel to the line of the desired
Dante receive channel and click the field
at the intersection point .
3) Wait for the field to show a green circle
with a white check mark ✔ .
Repeat the steps for additional connections .
Note: The transmitting channels of a DADC-144DT
cannot be connected to the reception channels of
the same unit .
