Configure Dante Device Settings (AT Models Only):
Dante settings on DMP 128 Plus AT models can be congured from DSP Congurator. The Dante device can be named here,
which aids in device identication in the DanteController software when there are multiple Dante devices on the audio network.
ATTENTION: It is essential that a Dante device be named before audio subscriptions with other devices are
established. Existing subscriptions are removed when a device is renamed.
To configure Dante device settings:
1. Open DSP Congurator and connect Live to the DMP 128 Plus AT (see step 3b on the previous page).
2. Select Tools>Device Settings. The Device Settings dialog box opens.
3. From the tabs at the top of the Device Settings dialog box, select Dante
Device.
a. It may be necessary to use the right navigation arrow ( ) at the top right
corner of the Device Settings dialog box to navigate to the Dante
Device tab (see gure to the right).
4. In the Device name eld, give the DMP 128 Plus AT a meaningful name
(such as device model and location) so that it can be easily identied in
DanteController.
5. Dante device network settings can also be congured from this dialog box.
Use the radio buttons and text elds to choose DHCP (recommended) or
Static IP and enter a static IP address conguration.
NOTE: The device name and IP configuration in the Dante Device tab
only affect the Dante interface of the DMP128PlusAT. These settings
do not affect the device name recognized in DSP Configurator or the IP
address of the rear panel LAN port.
6. Select Enable Redundant Mode only if conguring the DMP 128 Plus AT
for use on redundant networks. A separate set of redundancy network settings opens for conguration (see Physical Dante
