Yamaha has used its knowledge of both IT and pro audio to provide "SWR2100P series" simple L2 switch that has been optimized for networked audio installations. The switch can take advantage of "Yamaha LAN Monitor" a dedicated Windows application that provides 'network visibility' for comprehensive monitoring and control.

The "SWR2100P series” which are simple L2 switches can supply power as well as audio and control signals to a PoE-compliant Dante device such as the paging station microphone “PGM1” through just one Ethernet cable. Since the power supply and the network wiring can be combined, the number of cables being used can be reduced, and the connection distance can be extended, so the degree of freedom of Dante device installation is increased and construction flexibility is further improved.

Comprehensive Monitoring

Systems built around the SWR2100P-5G or SWR2100P-10G L2 switches allow comprehensive network monitoring from the dedicated Yamaha LAN Monitor software application, with PoE power status monitoring and ON/OFF switching capability.

Complete Network Overview

Understanding how multiple switches installed in different locations are connected, plus how network devices are connected to those switches, can be a difficult, time-consuming task. The Yamaha LAN Monitor makes overall network topology clearly visible, giving the user a comprehensive overview of how multiple switches and Dante network devices are interconnected. Simply connect a Windows PC to the nearest SWR2100P series switch and launch the Yamaha LAN Monitor software.
