Some exercises will have students build things correctly, while others will intentionally break the systems in a variety of ways so that students learn what the symptoms of the problems are and can recognize them more readily when in the field. The class will also teach a methodical approach to troubleshooting Dante networks, and have students apply that repeatedly.

The class exercises will begin with students setting up a small network on their desk. We then link all classroom networks together, revealing challenges in network management and device organization.

Students learn to optimize their switch for Dante traffic. The instructor will demonstrate the installation of Dante Domain Manager, after which students will secure their system by enrolling devices into domains. The various systems will be clocked together, and content will be shared between them. Finally, students will set up routers in their switches to produce a Layer 3 network, and the Dante devices will adjust to span that network.

The class will conclude with both multiple choice and hands-on tests, recreating everything we learned in the class.
