1 Introduction
GMS 3164 Dante is a monitoring and metering device that can display up to 64 AoIP channels from
the ante network.
GMS 3164 Dante can be operated with its front elements on the device («Local-GUI » with display
and buttons) and remotely through a WEB browser («Web-GUI») for monitoring meters.
GMS 3164 Dante has a separate LAN/Ethernet port for remote viewing or for updating software.
Following we use the term «GUI» for both above operating modes, and AoIP-channels are termed
«Dante-Channel» or «Channel», respectively (for more Information visit https://www.audinate.com).
