What is required to activate Dante functionality in some products using DAL and DEP?

To activate Dante functionality in some products that utilize Digital Audio Link (DAL) and Dante Endpoint Protocol (DEP), a separate activation process is necessary. This means that even if the hardware is equipped to support Dante, it may require additional steps beyond standard installation to enable its full capabilities.

The separate activation process often includes entering a key, completing a configuration setup, or utilizing specific software tools to unlock Dante features. This activation may be a part of ensuring that the device is configured correctly and authorized to operate within the Dante network.

Other approaches, such as using a special activation chip, might not universally apply across all products, as the requirement for a chip can vary depending on the designed architecture of the device. Similarly, rebooting the device and updating software could be part of maintenance practices but do not specifically address the activation of Dante functionality. Hence, understanding that a defined process is essential for the unlocking of these features is crucial for users navigating equipment that integrates Dante technology.
