Supplementary ground terminal for connecting the unit to a ground connection. See Warnings and Safety Information for more details.
The codec is powered by dual 90-240 volt, 2A/50-60Hz redundant AC power supplies, which use standard IEC connectors.
Balanced ANALOG/AES3 IN RJ-45 connectors provide shared stereo analog line inputs 1-4 (analog inputs 1-8), or stereo AES3 digital inputs 1-4 (AES3 inputs 1-8). Plus, connectors 5-8 provide stereo AES3 digital inputs 5-8 (AES3 inputs 9-16). Balanced ANALOG/AES3 OUT RJ-45 connectors provide shared stereo analog line outputs 1-4, or stereo AES3 digital outputs 1-4, plus stereo AES3 digital outputs 5-8.
A module slot supports the optional Gateway Euro ISDN module, as well as future hardware and technology upgrades.
Two BNC type SYNC I/O connectors for Word Clock and other synchronization with external sources.
Dual female DB-25 CONTROL PORT I/O connectors support 16 CMOS control inputs and 16 opto-isolated solid-state relay outputs. DB-25 pinouts are available in Appendix A.
Two Gigabit (10/100/1000) RJ-45 AoIP ports for AES67/ST2110-30, or optional WheatNet-IP or Dante streaming (16 bidirectional mono or 8 bidirectional stereo). Note: WheatNet-IP and Dante streaming over AoIP port 1 only.
Two Gigabit (10/100/1000) RJ-45 Ethernet LAN ports for IP connections. By default, the codec assumes LAN1 is the primary LAN connection and LAN2 is the backup LAN connection when in use. If you are only using one Ethernet port, always use LAN1. LED indications allow identification of LAN speeds as follows:
•1000 Mbps: Green = Blinking / Orange = Off
•100 Mbps: Green = Off / Orange = Blinking
•10Mbps: Green = Blinking / Orange = Blinking
Rear panel USB 3.0 host port supports record and playback of audio files.
A nine pin female RS-232 serial connection for local and remote control of equipment at either end of the link.
