DANTE LEVEL 2 EXAMINATION SET QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026
✔✔A network that carries multiple, possibly unrelated data types (like internet, VoIP,
Dante, etc.) is: - ✔✔called a converged network.
✔✔Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to
three different receiving devices? - ✔✔Yes. the channel must be set as multicast.
✔✔A unicast subscription is made between two Dante devices.
The latency value of the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5msec,
respectively.
What is the resulting latency of this stream? - ✔✔0.5msec
✔✔What protocol does Dante use for clocking? - ✔✔PTP
✔✔Can a Dante network with five switch hops support latency of 1msec? - ✔✔Yes.
Minimum recommended latency could be as low as 0.5msec.
✔✔What advantages does unicast have over multicast communication? (Select 3.) -
✔✔Unicast is simpler to deliver, reducing the strain on the switch.
Unicast can cross a router, Multicast cannot.
Unicast can achieve lower latency than Multicast. (Minimum latency for multicast is
1msec.)
✔✔Which Dante software supports redundant connections? - ✔✔Dante Controller
✔✔A multicast subscription is made between two Dante devices. The latency value of
the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5 msec, respectively. What is the
resulting latency of this stream? - ✔✔1.0 msec
✔✔If a Dante device is in redundant mode, can the ports use different configuration
methods? For instance, can the primary port be set to a Static IP and the secondary
follow Link Local? - ✔✔Yes
✔✔What happens if multiple devices have the Preferred Leader checkbox marked? -
✔✔Both will be elevated in the clock election process, only one of those two will
become the clock leader.
✔✔A unicast audio or video subscription: - ✔✔is the default behavior for Dante devices
✔✔What is the "golden rule" about Dante redundant networks? - ✔✔Do not link the
primary and secondary networks - they must remain in separate broadcast domains.
