First-time Connections
The first time an installation of Dante Controller connects to a DDM server, a pop-up dialog is displayed:

Click Yes to connect to the DDM server, or No to cancel the connection.
This security mechanism enables you to verify that the DDM server at the specified server name /
IP address is the server to which you actually intended to connect.
If the underlying DDM server at a previously used server name / IP address changes, you will see a
warning pop-up, so you can cancel the connection if required.
