Network Visibility
Effective Dante network management hinges on a range of parameters such as network traffic, switch status, and individual Dante device information. The dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor application provides a comprehensive single-screen view of all necessary parameters when used with SWP/SWR series switches. We refer to this type of graphical overview as “network visbility.”
You can even take a snapshot
of the normal network status and set an alarm to warn you if any of the
parameters changes, so that problems can be identified and resolved quickly and
easily. The Dante Controller application can also be launched from the Yamaha
LAN Monitor with a single click, providing a total Dante network solution on a
single computer.
*The software name of
Yamaha Audio Network Monitor has been changed to Yamaha LAN Monitor.
FEATURES
LAN Mapping
for a Complete Network Overview
Understanding
how multiple switches installed in different locations are connected, plus how
network devices are connected to those switches, can be a difficult,
time-consuming task. The Yamaha LAN Monitor makes overall network topology
clearly visible, giving the user a comprehensive overview of how multiple
switches and Dante network devices are interconnected. Simply connect a
computer to the nearest SWP/SWR series switch and launch the Yamaha LAN Monitor
software.
Port Status and Bandwidth Utilization
The Yamaha LAN Monitor
includes a port status and bandwidth display that clearly shows the connection
status of each network switch port, information about the connected devices,
the communication speed at each port, and the bandwidth utilization at each port
Dante Device Info
Device information and monitoring is also available for any
Dante devices connected to SWP1 series switches on the network. The ability to
monitor primary and secondary port status as well as transmit and receive flow
is important to achieving stable, reliable Dante audio communication. This
capability lets you keep an eye on the overall “health” of the network.
1-click
Dante Controller Launch
A Dante Controller
button at the top of the Yamaha LAN Monitor interface lets you launch the Dante
Controller with a single click (the Dante Controller software must be installed
on the computer). Seamless switching between the Yamaha LAN Monitor and Dante
Controller provides total Dante network control from a single computer

Snapshot
Function Makes Troubleshooting Easy
You can take a “snapshot” of the
network status when set up as required. The software can then automatically
keep track of the settings and alert you to any changes. You could take a
snapshot of the network during rehearsal, and then you’d be alerted if a cable
is disconnected, if a device is turned off, or if a wrong connection is made
prior to the performance, for example.
Enhanced
Device ID with Icons, Labels, and Comments
Identifying devices
connected to a switch by only their IP or MAC address is a difficult and
error-prone approach. Connected Dante devices are identified by a Dante icon as
well as a device ID previously set up via the Dante Controller software. You
can also enter additional info, such as the location of the device, in the
Label and Comment fields
Detailed
Switch Settings and Firmware Updates
The web GUI for each device can be
recalled to provide access to “deep” settings and allow firmware updates.
Collectively
monitor and remotely restart devices distributed over a wide area
If the monitoring
device does not respond to a Ping, it judges that a fault has occurred and
automatically stops the PoE power supply to that device and then resumes it.
This restarts the monitoring equipment and attempts recovery. By collectively
managing the status of the devices distributed over a wide area, it can ensure
that equipment management can operate far more smoothly
