Primary and secondary Dante networks (redundant configuration), only one
network interface on the host computer
If you have primary and secondary (redundant) networks, but only one network interface on your computer,
you should set your computer's network interface as the primary interface. This ensures that you can
control any non-redundant devices, and see full connection information for any redundant devices that are
connected to non-redundant devices.
If a problem does occur, and you lose connectivity on the primary network, you can connect instead to the
secondary network, to maintain control over your devices. This entails changing the physical connection
(i.e. physically connecting your computer to a switch on the secondary network), and changing the
interface selection in the Configure Dante Interfaces dialog.
Example
In the example below, the laptop (running Dante Controller) is connected to the switch via one interface
only, which is set as the primary Dante interface.
The two Dante devices are connected to the primary switch via their primary interfaces, and to the
secondary switch via their secondary interfaces. The two switches are not connected to each other. This
is a typical redundant network configuration for computers with only one network interface.
