 Connecting QL series consoles and I/O devices Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and I/O devices to connect them as follows. Connecting to I/O devices using a redundant network with a star topology is better for increasing communication stability compared to a daisy chain network.  Connecting QL series consoles and I/O devices Use the Dante connectors on the QL series console and I/O devices to connect them as follows.

Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We recommend a network switch that gives you the ability to control and monitor the network (such as QoS, the ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock synchronization or audio transmission on certain data circuits). With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant network so that communication can continue without affecting the audio even if an unexpected network problem should occur. About redundant networks A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit will automatically take over communications.
