ANSWERS 2025/2026
✔✔What is the most common issue when trying to set up a redundant network? - ✔✔A
device is left in switched / daisy chain mode
✔✔Best practice for setting up redundant networks - ✔✔Set up one network, then the
other
✔✔How are presets saved? (file type) - ✔✔Presets are saved as XML text files
✔✔Dante Domain Manager (DDM) - ✔✔A toolbox for enhancing the Dante domain
network
Allows devices to be organized into separate domains
Enables ability to limit some users from some functions in the network

typically have the highest priority?
-1
-5
-8
- 64 - ✔✔8
✔✔Match the distribution method with its definition. (Drag the descriptions at right onto
the appropriate method at left.)
- Multicast
- Broadcast
- Unicast
