Dante-enabled device is detected as a conventional terminal

Network adapter selection is incorrect. Select the network adapter that is

connected to the network that you want to monitor.

Because numerous devices are connected, it is taking a long time to search for devices.

Switches made by another manufacturer are connected.

The network adapter selection was changed after starting Yamaha LAN Monitor.

The appropriate adapter is not specified in Dante Controller.

The computer is not connected to the same subnet as the Dante network.

This may take several minutes; please wait. Information is shown consecutively, starting with devices for which information gathering has completed. If a device is still not displayed, check the settings in the “Basic Settings” dialog box.

Since this software is optimized for Yamaha switches, it cannot display switches made by other manufacturers.

If the network adapter selection is changed after starting Yamaha LAN Monitor, Danteenabled devices may not be detected. If Dante-enabled devices cannot be detected, restart Yamaha LAN Monitor.

Check the network adapter settings in Dante Controller.

Check the computer’s connections and the switch’s VLAN settings, and connect the computer to the same subnet as the Dante network. If you are using VLAN PRESET C on the SWP series unit, information cannot be obtained correctly if the computer is connected to VLAN 2. Connect it to VLAN 1.

A single Dante-enabled device is detected as two terminals

Multiple devices are shown with the same port number

Some information of a Danteenabled device cannot be obtained correctly

In this software, a computer on which Dante Virtual Soundcard is installed is detected as a device.

This is because most Dante-enabled devices, even if they have only one physical port, have two communication ports internally: a communication port for Dante and a communication port for device control.

By design, if multiple Dante-enabled devices are connected as a daisy-chain, they are shown together at the same port number as the device that is connected immediately below the Yamaha switch.

By design, devices that are connected below a switch made by another manufacturer are shown together immediately below the Yamaha switch that is located upstream of the switch made by the other manufacturer.

In some cases, it might not be possible to obtain certain information for a Danteenabled device not made by Yamaha.

This is how the device is designed. Management will be easier if you assign the label and comment to these two ports.
