In this example, note that the A-Net connections between devices can use
any combination of the A and B ports. Any open port can be used to connect
additional Pro64 devices to expand the system.
The order of the Pro64 modules connected in series in Example 3 above can
be changed without affecting the ability of the network to distribute the
same incoming audio channels to all three output modules shown. A‑Net
ports always transmit and receive the entire network (audio and VDC data)
at all times.
The rules are the same when larger networks are created. Simply set different
A‑Net base Slots on the I/O modules to use more A‑Net Slots as needed.
Cables can be connected to any available A‑Net port, A or B. Remember that
in Auto Mode that the maximum number of active input channels at 48kHz
will be 64.
Adding a Merger Hub in Auto Mode
For more wiring options, an A‑Net Merger Hub such as the MH10 or MH10f
can be added to a network. Using a merger hub enables parallel connection
of A‑Net devices. Multiple merger hubs can be used to simplify rack wiring
and the distribution of digital signals amongst the various subsections of a
digital audio network.

: Standard Ethernet networking products are not compatible with
Pro64 products. Use only Pro64 A‑Net compatible devices.
