What is a possible solution to address suspected ACL issues in a Dante system?

Checking the clock status histogram is an effective way to address suspected Access Control List (ACL) issues in a Dante system because it provides insight into the network synchronization status. The clock status histogram helps diagnose problems related to network latency and timing synchronization among devices, which are critical for maintaining audio integrity in a Dante network. When ACL issues arise, they may manifest as timing discrepancies or communication disruptions between devices, leading to audio dropouts or latency issues.

By analyzing the clock status histogram, a technician can identify any irregularities in clock synchronization, such as devices that are out of sync or experiencing high latency. This information is essential for troubleshooting and can lead to adjustments in network settings or configurations to enhance system performance and reliability.

In contrast, enabling multicast traffic, disabling unicast delay requests, or changing device configurations to switch to a star topology address different aspects of the network but do not directly assess synchronization status or potentially indicate underlying ACL issues. Each of these options can affect the operation of a Dante system, but they do not specifically target the diagnosis of ACL-related problems as effectively as examining the clock status histogram does.
