FAQ
- How do I find the IP address of the DA22OPT?
- You can find the IP address of the DA22OPT by accessing the device info screen of Dante Controller or checking your router settings.
- What should I do if I forget my login credentials for the Web GUI?
- If you forget your login credentials, you can perform a factory reset on the DA22OPT to restore the default username and password.
- Can I use a third-party power supply with the DA22OPT?
- We recommend using the PS121PH power supply sold separately to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Introduction
Our DA22OPT has been designed to both encode 2ch optical S/PDIF audio to a Dante® digital signal, and decode a Dante® digital signal to 2ch optical S/PDIF audio. The DA22OPT is a plug & play device that is powered using PoE (Power Over Ethernet). The DA22OPT also supports AES67 RTP audio transport.

Dante Controller
Dante Controller software is required in order to setup and configure the DA22OPT as well as control your Dante network. Audinate provide extensive training videos and documentation on their website. This can be found here: http://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
Upon connecting your DA22OPT to a compatible network, the Dante Controller software should automatically discover the device. The DA22OPT will appear in the Dante Controller with a name denoted with “DA22OPT”. On the “Routing” screen you can create audio routing between Dante transmitters and receivers in your system. Please ensure your PC is on the same network as your Dante devices. Dante is not able to transmit over WiFi and it is recommended to hardwire into the Dante network. Having multiple network devices enabled can also confuse the Dante Controller software so it is recommended to disable WiFi during configuration.
It is also possible to change the settings of the DA22OPT under the “Device Info” screen in the Dante Controller software. To do so, select the “Device Config” menu. Here we can adjust the sample rate and the encoding bit rate of the DA22OPT. Please note that Dante products can only transmit or receive audio from other Dante products that are set up with the same sample rate. A mismatch in sample rate may stop audio from transmitting. Under the “Device Config” screen we can also adjust the latency of the DA22OPT from 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 milliseconds.
Web Interface Module
The DA22OPT features an in-built Web GUI which can be used for control and configuration of the device. By default the device is set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the device will receive a link local address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. The device info screen of Dante Controller will provide you with the IP address information of each unit.
By accessing the IP address of the DA22OPT in your web browser, you will gain access the the units web GUI.
The following details will allow you to log in to the admin section:
- Default Username is: blustream
- Default Password is: 1234
This will provide access to change the network settings to meet your systems requirements.
