Yamaha Switches with Dante Optimisation and Network Visibility
The complex configuration of network switches, once the exclusive domain of IT technicians, can now be easily carried out by anyone. A simple switch setting is all it takes to optimise SWP1 series network switches for Dante operation, and a dedicated computer application called Yamaha LAN Monitor provides "network visibility" for comprehensive monitoring and control.
Yamaha entered the network equipment market in 1995 and captured a significant share of the small and medium business and SOHO network market in Japan. Yamaha L2 gigabit switches that can be linked to Yamaha routers/firewalls were introduced in 2011, with features that considerably reduced the workload for network configuration, maintenance and management.
20 years later, audio networking has become one of the fastest-growing and most valued technologies in the fields of live sound reinforcement and professional audio. An ever-growing range of Dante-compatible Yamaha products, including the widely acclaimed CL series digital mixing consoles, continues to lead the way. SWP1 series network switches are a solution the professional audio market has been waiting for, offering an ideal balance of IT expertise and professional audio that only Yamaha can provide.
The SWP1 series makes audio network configuration, monitoring and operation easier and more convenient than ever.
Dante Optimisation via DIP Switch
Simple Dante networks are not difficult to configure and operate, but as network complexity increases, the switches used must be optimised for Dante operation in order to achieve maximum stability. Configuring QoS, IGMP Snooping and other parameters on a smart switch can be a complex task, requiring specialist knowledge that falls more within the domain of IT technicians than sound engineers. The SWP1 series allows a Dante-optimised configuration to be recalled by simply toggling a DIP switch. No expertise or training is required.
3 Types of Predefined VLANs
A truly efficient network should be capable of handling multiple services simultaneously: Dante communication, StageMix functions and other smart devices, computer software for controlling digital mixing consoles or power amplifiers, and possibly more. But the more communications you combine on a single network, the higher the risk of interference and issues. Using virtual VLAN domains to isolate different types of data is the ideal solution, but this type of configuration also requires a certain level of IT expertise. The SWP1 series includes three VLAN presets that can simply be selected via a DIP switch. There is also a USER mode that allows fully customised VLAN configuration.
Network Visibility
Effective Dante network management relies on a range of parameters such as network traffic, switch status and information on individual Dante devices. The dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor application provides a comprehensive overview on a single screen of all necessary parameters when used with SWP1 series switches. We call this type of graphical overview "network visibility". You can even take a snapshot of the normal network state and set an alarm to alert you if parameters change, so that issues can be identified and resolved quickly and easily. The Dante Controller application can also be launched from Yamaha LAN Monitor with a single click, providing a complete Dante network solution on a single computer.
etherCON Connectors for Live Sound Reinforcement Reliability
Reliability is essential in live sound reinforcement applications. Nothing must interrupt the show. Conventional network switches typically feature RJ45 connectors to match the connectors on the computers to which they will be connected, but the SWP1 series features durable and reliable etherCON connectors that are directly compatible with the etherCON connectors on Yamaha CL/QL series consoles and other Dante-compatible devices.
Optical Fibre and Network Redundancy Support (redundancy option required)
The SWP1-8MMF and SWP1-16MMF include opticalCON connectors compatible with multimode fibre. Both models support transmission over distances of up to 300 metres. The optional MMF-SWP1 optical module can be added to enable the use of two optical fibre cables for a redundant connection. RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is also supported for redundant connections.
EXTERNAL DC INPUT for Power Redundancy
SWP1 series switches include an XLR-4-32 type EXT DC INPUT connector in addition to the standard AC IN connector. A +24 V DC power supply connected to the EXT DC INPUT connector provides redundant power that can keep the unit operational in the event of a problem with the mains power supply. For added reliability, the AC connector is of the locking type (V-Lock), which minimises the possibility of accidental disconnection.
Yamaha SWP1 series network switches have been specifically designed to offer users the maximum number of benefits with the greatest possible ease of configuration and use. They enable one-click Dante optimisation and advanced network visibility while making full use of Dante audio stream management capabilities. Yamaha LAN Monitor software works with the SWP1 series to enable comprehensive monitoring and management not only of connected SWP1 series switches, but also of connected Dante devices. Yamaha's original L2MS (Layer 2 Management Service) protocol extends "network visibility" capabilities to all Dante devices connected to SWP1 series switches.
LAN Mapping for a Complete Network Overview
Understanding how multiple switches installed at different locations are connected, as well as the way in which network devices are connected to those switches, can be a difficult and time-consuming task. Yamaha LAN Monitor makes the overall network topology clearly visible, giving the user a complete overview of how multiple switches and Dante network devices are interconnected. Simply connect a computer to the nearest SWP1 switch and launch the Yamaha LAN Monitor software.
Port Status and Bandwidth Usage
Yamaha LAN Monitor includes a port status and bandwidth display that clearly shows the connection status of each port on the network switch, information on connected devices, communication speed at each port and bandwidth usage at each port.
Dante Device Information
Device information and monitoring is also available for all Dante devices connected to SWP1 series switches on the network. The ability to monitor the status of the primary and secondary ports as well as the transmit and receive stream is important for achieving stable and reliable Dante audio communication. This capability allows you to keep an eye on the overall "health" of the network.
Launch Dante Controller in 1 Click
A Dante Controller button at the top of the Yamaha LAN Monitor interface allows you to launch Dante Controller with a single click (Dante Controller software must be installed on the computer). Seamless switching between Yamaha LAN Monitor and Dante Controller provides complete control of the Dante network from a single computer.
The Snapshot Function Simplifies Troubleshooting
A "snapshot" can be taken of the network state during configuration. The software can then automatically track parameters and alert the user to any changes. A snapshot could be taken of the network during rehearsal, and the user would then be alerted if a cable is unplugged, a device is switched off or an incorrect connection is made before the performance, for example.
Enhanced Device Identification with Icons, Labels and Comments
Identifying devices connected to a switch solely by their IP or MAC address is a difficult and error-prone approach. Devices connected via Dante are identified by a Dante icon as well as a device identifier previously configured via Dante Controller software. You can also enter additional information, such as the device location, in the Label and Comment fields.
Detailed Switch Settings and Firmware Updates
The web GUI interface of each device can be recalled to access "advanced" settings and enable firmware updates.
