Best practice networking

With recent firmware updates, Martin Audio included a ‘final fail safe’ feature where an amplifier will reboot the network card to clear it’s buffers. In this instance the amplifier will drop offline in VU-NET and then reappear. To be clear this is NOT a problem with the amplifier, it is protecting itself from overloaded network traffic.

The most likely cause of this is systems that have not separated Dante from VU-NET Control using a vLan. In this instance, they should contact so they can assist you further.
