Connection This section describes the following connections.

It is designed to deliver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante: http://www.audinate.com/ More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha Pro Audio website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Notes Regarding the Use of Network Switches Do not use the EEE functionality (*) of network switches on a Dante network. Although mutual power consumption settings between switches that support the EEE functionality are adjusted automatically, there are some switches for which such mutual settings are not adjusted correctly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend the following. • If you use managed switches, please disable the EEE functionality. Do not use switches that prevent EEE functionality from being disabled. • When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support EEE functionality. EEE functionality cannot be disabled for such switches. * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also referred to as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az. Connecting Dante-compatible Devices You can connect the RMio64-D to a Dante network in the following ways. Daisy Chain Network A daisy chain network is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are connected together in sequence. This connection method is suitable for a simple system with a small number of devices. However, if a large number of devices are connected, you will also need to manually increase the latency value significantly. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain network, the signal flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point.  Settings • Turn off Dante DIP switch 1 (UP). • If there are multiple Dante-compatible devices from Yamaha that require an ID setting connected to the same network, set a different ID for each device. Make sure to change the settings of the rotary switch while the power to the unit is turned off; otherwise, the ID setting will not be effective.
