SOLVED - QL1 Dante Static IP
« on: August 12, 2019, 06:43:41 PM »

Hi all!

I'm trying to set a static IP address for the built-in Dante interface (currently in switched mode because I'm not running a redundant network) of a QL1 but I'm having no luck. There doesn't appear to be a way to set it on the console, and setting it from Dante Controller never seems to "take". I don't see any mentions of it in the QL1 manual. Is there something I'm missing?

(I'd like to spare everyone the trouble of explaining to me why I shouldn't do this. My setup involves a laptop with DVS and other show control software and no DHCP server. I'm well-versed in networking generally and I'm Dante Level 3 certified, so I'm aware of the pitfalls of static IPs; I just don't know the QL1 that well.)

Thanks!

-Russ

I looked everywhere on a QL5 to try and just find the Dante IP address and accidentally found it the other day. Under setup and network there is a tab for Dante. I didn’t try to change it but assume you can.  Not sure if required but I had my laptop running DVS connected.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

Is it next to the tabs for Mixer control and Device control?  I wanted to answer this, but i couldn't remember where it was and i don't have a mixer here to look at.

According to the CL/QL Series System Design Guide, it IS the 'Device Control' tab.
The labels are odd. 'Mixer control' tab sets the IP address for that lone non-Dante ethernet connection (used for Editor and StageMix control), and 'Device control' tab sets the IP address for the Primary Dante connection. The Redundant Dante connection can only have its IP address set in Dante Controller.

In order for it to “take” in Dante controller you must fill in all the fields. If you don’t have a gateway or whatever just use 0.0.0.0. I just had the issue with it not taking yesterday.

That actually makes some degree of sense since the "device control" [usually Shure RF microphone information and control] aspects "ride in" on the Dante Primary network.  But, it's also pretty non-intuitive.  Interesting...

I think it's intuitive.
You typically would only set that address if you need to change it because of a device you're controlling. i.e. a Shure Dante product.
If it said "Dante Address", that would be correct, but less intuitive because the typical user would never need to change the Dante Address unless they were controlling a device, and the "Dante Address" can be 2 addresses if you're running redundant, but there's only selection for 1 (the primary).

RIO's and such are controlled over the same cable as running Dante, side by side information with Dante. So it seems like in the labeling they focused more on that. For a Shure Dante product I believe you set it to "Yamaha mode" and off you go?

Just to clarify--I'm sitting in front of a QL5 right now--the IP address shown "for device control" is NOT the same address as the one in Dante Controller for the desk.  There's no way to change the Dante IP addresses (primary or secondary) from the console.

Thanks Aram, I thought I was going crazy.

In order for it to “take” in Dante controller you must fill in all the fields. If you don’t have a gateway or whatever just use 0.0.0.0. I just had the issue with it not taking yesterday.

Okay, I thought I had tried that using a made-up gateway and DNS server in the same subnet, but I'll try it with zeros instead and see if that works.

Thanks!
