Network & Security Settings

Security

Install TLS Certificate

Use this panel to manually enter or upload the Private Key and Certificate files (.key and .crt) required to implement HTTPS for the connection from the user interface to the DDM server.

Enter Manually

Select this option to copy and paste in the private key and certificates.

Open each file in a text editor, copy the text and paste it into the relevant field.

Upload Files

Select this option to upload the files.

Drag and drop the files into the relevant fields, or use the browse links to navigate to the files.

Note: If your browser requires any additional intermediate Certificate Authorities to verify your certificate, include them in the public certificate file / data.

Controller Fingerprint

The Controller Fingerprint is a unique ID for the DDM instance that is presented to Dante Controller users when they first connect to DDM.

Dante Controller users can confirm that they are connected to the intended DDM instance by manually verifying that the fingerprint strings displayed in Dante Controller and DDM are identical.

Network

FQDN

Provide a fully qualified domain name for the DDM instance. The FQDN must be valid for the network in which DDM resides. Click Suggest to auto-populate the FQDN, based on the current DNS configuration if applicable.

Note: It may be necessary to change the FQDN if the DDM instance is moved to another network.

Dante Interface

If you have multiple physical network interfaces connected to different Dante networks, you can use the Dante Interface menu to switch between them.

Advertise DDM for Discovery Using mDNS

For networks that reside on a single IP subnet and do not include a DNS server, this feature enables automatic discovery of DDM by Dante devices (using mDNS). If you have multiple DDM instances running on the same IP subnet, you should disable the service, and use manual (IP address) device enrollment.

Run Diagnostics

The Diagnostics function performs a set of high-level tests to establish the status of some basic network configuration parameters relevant to the DDM server.

Compatibility

Allow Association with Pre v4.0 Firmware Devices

Enables legacy (pre-v4.0 firmware) products to exchange audio with enrolled devices on the same IP subnet.

See Legacy Devices for more information.

Note: Legacy Interop must also be enabled at domain level in the Domain Details page.

Allow Unknown Message Types

Dante manufacturers sometimes implement new custom message types, which are typically used for proprietary device control.

If DDM is not already aware of a particular custom message type, by default it will not forward those messages between your devices or controllers. This may impact device and/or controller functionality on your network.

Enabling 'Allow Unknown Message Types' will instruct DDM to forward all unknown message types.

Note: It is recommended to consult with your device manufacturer or Audinate Technical Support before enabling this feature.

Note: Unknown message types are not subject to user access controls, and will not appear in the Audit Log.

Browser Login Expiry

Specify the time after which idle users will be automatically logged out of the DDM web interface, and will have to log in again.

Supported values are weeks (w), days (d), hours (h), and minutes (m), for example: 3w 4d 12h 30m
