PORT CONFIGURATION SWITCHES

There are four DIP switches for port configuration on the front panel of
the AES-6 interface (Figure 1-2). Three of the DIP switches configure
the rear card ports between mono and stereo modes. The fourth DIP
switch (Mode) is used to configure the card for either Clear-Com
panels (OFF) or third party equipment (ON).

An AES-6 interface can only be configured for either Clear-Com panels
or third party equipment; Clear-Com panels and third party equipment
cannot be mixed on a single AES-6 interface.

Each of the first three DIP switches corresponds to a pair of ports on
the rear card which may be set up as two monaural audio ports (OFF)
or a single stereo port (ON). When a DIP switch is set for stereo mode
the first port in the pair acts as the primary channel while the second
port acts as the secondary channel and the port LED will flash to
indicate this. The possible DIP switch settings are shown in Figure 1-3
and Figure 1-4.
