Shure ANI4IN

This module controls the Shure ANI4IN Audio Network Interface via TCP command strings.

Configuration

• Target IP - The IP address of the ANI4IN on the control network.
• Port - TCP port (default: 2202).
• Enable Metering - Enables audio level metering from the device.
• Metering Rate - How often (in ms) the device sends audio level samples (minimum 100ms).
• Polling Interval - How often (in seconds) the module polls for device state updates.

Management vs Dante address: The ANI4IN has two IPs — the management/control address (use this as the Target IP; it also serves the web UI) and the Dante audio address. They are usually different. The device_ip variable reports the Dante address, so it will not match your Target IP — that is expected. Find the management address in your router/DHCP table or via the Shure Web Device Discovery app (the device must have Web Device Discovery enabled in its web interface).
