Adding Third-Party Dante Devices to the User Library
Product:Composer Management Software
Type: Dante
This Tech Tip is to provide instruction on how to add third-party Dante devices to the User Library of Composer. Symetrix Composer contains a list of supported third-party Dante devices. When these supported devices are added to a site file, Composer can create transmit/receive subscriptions as well as provide control for some devices.
The User Library is located in the Third-party Dante Devices section of the Toolkit in Device View. Any third-party Dante device can be added to the User Library. Once a device is added to the User Library, Composer will treat it as a supported third party Dante device. There are two methods to add a third-party Dante device to the User Library:
- Browse Dante Network
- Import XML File
Browse Dante Network

Here are the instructions to add a third-party Dante device to the User Library by browsing the Dante network: (This example uses a Radius AEC and a Windows PC running Dante Via)
- From the Toolkit, add a Radius AEC to the Site View page.
- Next from the Toolkit, expand Third-party Dante Devices.
- Expand the User Library and add a New Dante Device to the Site View page.

10. Bus#1 is automatically created and available. Add Bus#1 to the Design View page.*
11. Push the site file and Composer will make the Dante subscriptions for these channels.
Import XML File
Here are the instructions to add a third-party Dante device to the User Library by importing an XML file: (This example uses a Radius AEC and a RDL DD-BN31 wall-mounted Dante interface)
- From the Toolkit, expand Third-party Dante Devices.
- Expand the User Library and add a New Dante Device to the Site View page.
The Dante Device User Library Manager window will open.
