Link-Local

The link-local IP range is a special case (169.254.1.0 – 169.254.254.255).

The Dante Controller will NOT see an E-DANTE64-HX card with a link-local IP address if the PC hosting it is not set to the link-local IP range also. In this case, you need to change the PC’s IP address to a value in the link-local range before you can access and configure the card.
