VNET2-DANTE BRIDGE
Rear Panel
(1)
(2)
The Audio Out 2 male XLR connector (1) carries the analogue audio signal for the
second channel.
The Audio Out 1 Male XLR connector (2) carries the analogue audio signal for the first channel.
The Dante RJ45 connector (3) is the Ethernet port, which should be connected from your
computer or Ethernet Switch.
The VNET RJ45 socket (4) is the serial VNET network connection which should be connected
to the first VNET device in your VNET network. It carries control data and AES3 digital audio
when VNET2 is enabled. If you are using the Bridge for audio only (not control), then this socket
is unused.
The Ext 3.5 mm Jack socket (5) is used for applying external power to the Bridge. Use only
an approved DC power source. If you are using a PoE Switch, then no connection is made to
this connector.

Trouble Shooting
The EXT Power indicator does not illuminate
If you do not have a connection to a PoE Ethernet Switch, you need to use the Accessory Power
Supply. Make sure this is connected properly. Check if the power indicator on the Power Supply
illuminates. If you are using a PoE Ethernet Switch, an external power supply is not needed and
this indicator will not illuminate.
No Audio on the connected Device
Check that the Dante Audio signal is routed to the correct channel. If using VNET2, check that
the Digital Input is selected. Also check the audio cables.
Dante Controller does not find Bridge
Check that the Dante Data indicator flashes to indicate that there is an Ethernet connection.
Make sure the Ethernet network cable is not too long, is correctly connected, and is not
damaged. Turn off the wireless port on your computer. Check that the Ethernet switch has QoS
features. Also see: "Setting Up Dante FAQ" and "Troubleshooting FAQ" on audinate.com
PodWare finds no devices
Check that you have added the Dante Network node in PodWare. Also check that the
appropriate indicators are illuminated. (See above). Make sure the VNET network cabling is not
too long, is correctly connected, and is not damaged. Cable must conform to Application Note
DQ2707. Check that the VNET Data indicator flashes when PodWare attempts to go online. If not,
there may be a problem with the VNET cabling. Check to determine if any firewall is blocking
PodWare from accessing the network.
