Dante Level 3 Test Questions
Describe follower, primary clock leader, and boundary clock - ANS -follower: a device
that accepts a clock from another source
primary clock leader: a device that is the original time reference for all other devices on
the network.
boundary clock. A device that accepts a clock from another source, then feeds that
clock to other devices.
Are dante flows unicast or multicast by default? - ANS -Unicast
Does dante domain manager subscribe to other networks when the transmitter is
multicast? - ANS -Yes. Dante domain manager can take multicast from a transmitter
and send it as unicast across a router to another subnet.
A campus network has different subnets for each of the twenty buildings. A project calls
for a system design where Dante devices would be present in every building. The
VLANs are connected by standard inter-VLAN routing. Dante Domain Manager is
present in the design.
Can we establish a single dante domain for all the background music and paging
equipment across the entire campus, throughout all subnets? - ANS -Yes. We will need
to make sure we have enough flows to cover the unicast feeds, but otherwise this is
fine.
When we share sources from one domain to another, how much control do we have? -
ANS -we have a choice between sharing channels to all domains in a group, or for more
customization, we can choose which channels are available in each domain.
If all dante devises are enrolled in dante domain manager and a random person
connects to your network and launches dante controller, will they be able to see
anything? - ANS -No. Dante controller will not show any devices on DDM until you have
entered your credentials.
How does dante controller discover a new device when it is first connected to the
network? - ANS -dante controller listens for an mDNS "discovery" announcement at
224.0/0/251:5353
, You have a system design with about 1000 devices spread across a property. The IT
administrator insists you segment the broadcast domain. You know audio/video signals
need to flow between major systems throughout the property. What steps do you need
to do? - ANS -Break the network into VLANs, use unique subnets for each VLAN and
connect them with inter-VLAN routing.
Add Dante Domain Manager to manage and coordinate devices across the layer 3
network.
When Troubleshooting a system, what order (in terms of concepts) do we start at and
work off from? - ANS -Connectivity---> clocking--->Subscriptions--->Latency
True or false: Dante devices have an unlimited number of receive flows. - ANS -False
When dante devices are in red on dante controller, what might this mean? - ANS
-Dante devices are in a different subnet than the computer running Dante Controller.
Dante controller might be expecting to see devices on the primary network, but it is
connected to the secondary (or vice versa).
What can you use to automatically discover a large number of devices across multiple
subnets? - ANS -DNS-SD
color meanings - ANS -green: in a managed system, these channels are shared from a
device in another domain.
red: a dante device is discovered in the network, but it is in the wrong subnet or you
have primary/secondary reversed.
black: a normal dante device properly recognized on the network.
In a dante domain manager system, what happens if we enable unicast clocking for a
second device in the subnet? - ANS -Va clock leader will be elected for the subnet. The
other device will be follower and will be ready to take over in case the leader is no
longer present in the network.
Dante devices remember their settings through power cycles, so they restore
functionality when they come back up. Of course, a subscription is made between a
transmitter and a receiver-so which device remembers the connections that need to be
made? - ANS -The receiver
