I'm confused how this is being so arduous for people to get working... the times I have networked either our ULXD or others into our CL5s, it's literally been.... Cat5e from the receivers.... to a basic switch... to the console, and everything's worked. (Other than standard boot order) I haven't had to power cycle things, or update software, or fuss with IP addresses. It's just automagically worked. The only problem I had last week was two dual receivers with the same Yamaha/Dante ID, but that was a nine second fix.
Maybe it's the fact that we're not connecting to the internet/other networks, but rather a fully standalone network. I don't know. It's just strange reading these convoluted setup methods and not having experienced any issues at all...
