Please carefully read the following manual, understand all instructions and act step by step as requested to prevent any
damage to the device, to prevent any hazards, or not to violate any laws.
NOTE - This manual is an addendum to the common operating manual for the TouchMonitor units. The
knowledge of the content, especially the safety information, is required and constitutes the basis for the
following additional descriptions.
WARNING - In order to observe the EMC values, a CAT-7 S/FTP cable with an etherCON connector NE8MX-6-T
or NE8MX6 shall mandatory be used. According to the assembly instructions of the connector, the cable shield shall
be wired in the way that it has connection to the connector housing!
Precondition
As any other device in a network, also a TouchMonitor unit with Dante™ interface (TM-Dante) has to be set up for a Dante AoIP
network. Only then the TM-Dante is able to receive and display signals from a network.
We assume, that the Dante network administrator will integrate the TM-Dante via Audinates Dante Controller and will make the
required assignments from the sources to the 32 available sinks of the TM-Dante.
NOTE - Please ask the Dante network administrator to tell you which signal source is assigned to which input channel.

Operation
If these preconditions are given and the TM-Dante is connected to the Dante network, you can start creating presets, define
audio groups and assign input signals.
NOTE - In each new created audio group of a preset, always the first Dante input signals in the order will be assigned
to the channels for display. Therefore, please always verify the input routing and adjust the assignment if necessary.
Proceed as follows:
1. As described in the operating manual, open the menu system on your TouchMonitor and create a new preset.
Further information on how to create and manage presets can be found in the operating manual of your device.
2. Create a new Audio Group and define the operation mode (e. g. 5.1). AoIP-Dante is set as Domain, this cannot be chan-
ged. Touch Configure in the Input Routing section to perform the input routing.

Operation (continued)
3. One by one touch the buttons in the Input column and select the corresponding Dante signals, which should be displayed
on these input channels.
NOTE - The channel designations 01, 02, ..., 32 shown in this documentation correspond to the initial designations
in the Dante network. When these channel designations are renamed by the network administrator, the changed channel
names will also appear in the routing of the TouchMonitor.
In the following first example we assumed that the first six Dante channels can be assigned to a 5.1 Surround display.

Operation (continued)
In the second example we assumed that the Dante channels 7 to 14 belong to a 7.1 DD+ setup.
NOTE - In one preset, up to 32 channels in several audio groups can be defined. Up to 8 channels can be assig-
ned to one audio group.
4. As described in the operating manual, add the instruments you need to the audio groups and place them on the screen
(View). Create a Non-Audio Group, if you want to activate the network status instrument and place it on the screen. Save
your preset.
5. Now, your TM-Dante is ready to measure and display signals from a Dante network.

You can see a possible arrangement of the exemplarily created audio groups (left 5.1, right 7.1 DD+) as described in this ma-
nual, each extended with the Loudness Numeric instrument. In the middle you find a non-audio group with the network status
display.
