(VU), DC protect, thermal protect, IGM, clip status, power state, AC mains, heatsink tem-
perature, gain selection, ground lift status, and audio return.

gain, AC voltage, IP address, amplifier ID, as well as CobraNet bundle and channel status.

The module has an RJ-45 ethernet connection that is made through a Category 5 com-
pliant Neutrik EtherCon connector to ensure a secure connection.
Both the NxCobraNet and the NxEthernet modules can be ordered with CKi
