6 Configuration of the Dante Network
AKB-160DT is configured as a receiver in the Dante
network by means of the program "Dante Control-
ler", available as a free download on the website of
the company Audinate. The settings made via the
program will be saved in the corresponding transmit-
ters and receivers of the Dante network so that the
program is only required for network configuration
but not for normal operation. The following system
requirements apply to the computer on which the
program "Dante Controller" is to be executed:

6.2 Configuration of the unit with the
Dante Controller
1) Start the Dante Controller.
2) Wait for the desired Dante transmitter and
AKB-160DT (under "Dante Receivers") to appear
in the matrix.
Note: If AKB-160DT or the Dante transmitter fails to
appear, the reason may be that
– the corresponding unit has not been switched on
– the unit is in a different subnet
– the unit is not able to synchronize with the other Dante
units.
However, if one of the two last-mentioned reasons ap-
plies, the Dante unit should at least appear under the tab
"Device Info" or "Clock Status" in the network view. A
fast solution of the problem may be to switch off the unit
or to disconnect the connection to the switch. For further
information please refer to the user manual of the Dante
Controller from Audinate.
3) In the menu bar of the Dante Controller, select
"Device / Device View" or use the shortcut Ctrl+D.
The Device View window will open.
4) Select "AKB-160DT" in the bar of the drop-down
menu appearing beneath the menu bar.
5) The third bar can be used to indicate information
on the unit and to make settings. Select the tab
"Device Config" (refer to fig. 3).
6) In the field "Rename Device", the name used for
the unit in the Dante network can be changed
(e. g. to a specific name referring to the place of
installation). Click "Apply" to confirm the change.
7) Adjust the "Sample Rate" to the desired Dante
transmitter or set a different common sample rate
for both units, if required.
