Getting Started with Dante AVIO
Follow these steps to get your Dante AVIO adapters connected and routing audio quickly.
1. Connect to a Network Switch
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect the adapter’s network port to a PoE-capable switch on your Dante network.
- No PoE switch? Connect the adapter to a PoE injector, then connect the injector to your network switch.
2. Confirm Power and Sync Status
- For AVIO adapters, both Ethernet LEDs (on the RJ45 port) should be green—either solid or flashing.
- For AVIO Install adapters, the status LED on top of the unit should be solid green or blue.
3. Connect Audio Devices and Computers
- Plug the AVIO adapter into your audio gear using the appropriate connectors (XLR, USB, or Euroblock depending on model)
4. Connect Dante Controller
- Launch Dante Controller on a computer connected to the same network.
- Use Dante Controller to route audio to and from your AVIO adapter and any other Dante-enabled device.
5. Check for Firmware Updates
- In Dante Controller click Dante Updater to ensure your AVIO adapter is running the latest firmware.
6. Configure Device Settings
