User Manual

5 – Configuration Workflow

There are two functions of the device that require software configuration. First the audio routing, and second the

configurable features of the product itself (i.e. preamp settings. Input switching, etc.).

Some 3rd party manufacturers provide network audio routing functionality from within their own configuration

application. Check the applications manual/help or contact the manufacturer in question to see if this is supported. If not

supported by a 3

party tool, the audio routing may be carried out using Audinate's Dante™ Controller. Dante™ Controller

can be obtained from the Audinate website (www.Audiante.com) and is available for both Mac and PC. Instructions on

how to use this application and about setting up routes on a Dante™ network can also be found on Audinate's website.

*Note: The unD6IO-BTwill be shown using a default device name of "D6IO-BT-######" where '######' is the last six

characters of the devices MAC address.

Configuration of the unD6IO-BT specific features is carried out using the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application.

This application is available from the customer portal section of the Attero Tech website which can be found here. It

should be used to configure and modify the device specific features such as the Bluetooth friendly name at the time of

system installation and commissioning.

5.1 – IP Address Setup

********************************************************* IMPORTANT******************************************************

Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an unD6IO-BTdevice to correctly authenticate in the unIFY Control

Panel software and while it will show up in Dante™ Controller, the devices parameters will not be available. The input and

output channels also won't be visible and routing of audio to and from the device will not be possible.

*****************************************************************************************************************************

In order to configure an unD6IO-BT, both to set up internal parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC/Mac will

need to be able to communicate with the devices over the network. While all Dante™ devices will be discovered regardless

of the IP address setup on the PC or Mac, communication can only occur if the PC/Mac and the device have compatible IP

addresses.

By default, the unD6IO-BT is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante™ devices, if the unD6IO-BT does not find

a DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an local link address sometimes also known as an automatic

private IP address (APIPA) instead. A local link IP address is always in the range 169.254.x.y.

To ensure communication, the PC/Mac can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the

range 169.254.x.y y with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The PC may require a restart if its IP address is changed for the

change to take effect.

In some applications, IP addresses of devices may need to be set to something specific and that can be done once initial

communication has been established. Bear in mind however that if a static IP address is assigned to a device and that

static IP address is in a different range to the IP it was previously using to communicate with the PC/Mac, the PC/Mac will

lose communication with the device until such time as the PC/Mac IP address is also changed to an IP in range of the

devices new IP address.

Further information on IP setup for an audio system using Dante™ can be found in the FAQ's on the Audinate website

(https://www.audinate.com/resources/faqs).
