Allen & Heath – getting static address off Dante card

So, Dante should improve their controller so it is possible to reset the IP address of a card that isn’t in the current subnet – I’ll send them a email about that. But, for now, should you have a Dante card that you can’t talk to because it’s not on the same subnet you are, what you need to do in windows is get a newer version of the Dante client (4.4.2.2 or later), then set the subnet on the ethernet interface to be the same as your Dante controller’s subnet (which you will see in the network view or if you click on the red device in the device view). Now, you’ll have to guess at subnet mask, or use something like wireshark to see what broadcast address is being hit.

Once you’ve done all this, you should be able to set the controller back to DHCP.
