Switching the CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT STEP 1. In the DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page), select the CONSOLE ID and the SECONDARY PORT. 2. Press the APPLY button. 3. In the window to confirm the change, press the OK button. DANTE SETUP window (SETUP page) The button you switched is shown in red. When the Dante audio network settings have been applied, the button you selected will return to its original appearance. Setup NOTE • If you change the SECONDARY PORT, you must also change the method of connection between the QL series console and the I/O devices. For example if the connections used for the REDUNDANT setting are left as they are when you change the setting to DAISY CHAIN, it will become impossible to send and receive audio. Be sure to disconnect the cables before you change the setting. • The CONSOLE ID and SECONDARY PORT settings will not be changed even if you initialize the QL series console. • When the CONSOLE ID is OFF or is set to 2, 3, or 4 for a QL series console, the console's BIT/ LATENCY will not change even if the BIT/LATENCY is changed in the DANTE SETUP window for the QL series console within a network for which the CONSOLE ID is set to 1. • When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, the DANTE PATCH BY field is fixed to "DANTE CONTROLLER." Also, patching cannot be changed in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. • When the CONSOLE ID is set to OFF, all the mounted devices will be "virtual." You can edit HA GAIN and other settings for Rio series units, but the changes will not apply to device settings. This is the same as when the devices are not connected. Therefore, level control and other settings do not affect other devices. Setting the Dante audio network latency An appropriate latency setting for signals sent and received via a Dante audio network varies depending on the network connection method and size. This section explains how to set an appropriate latency setting depending on the connection method of Dante-enabled devices that are connected to the QL series console.  Relationship between the switches and the number of hops An appropriate latency setting on a Dante audio network varies depending on the number of hops in the network. One hop is the step from one router (switch) to the next. You count the number of hops starting from the master device to the most distant device (assuming that all devices are connected in series). Switches mean network switches and routers, as well as the switches that are built into QL series consoles and I/O devices. Set the latency value based on the number of hops. The following table shows typical latency settings based on the number of hops. Number of hops Up to 3 Up to 5 Up to 10 Up to 20 21 or more (or if a problem occurs) Latency (ms) 0.25 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 NOTE • Depending on network conditions, you may want to raise the latency value even if the number of hops is small. • If a problem occurs, select 5.0 ms so that you will be able to identify whether the latency setting is the cause of the problem. 194 Reference Manual
