In this example, note that the A-Net connections between devices can be
any combination of the A and B ports. Any open port can be used to connect
additional Pro64 devices.
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 a
different A‑Net base Slot 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 channels
at 48kHz will be 64. I/O modules can be mic, line, digital, or console cards as
needed.
Adding a Merger Hub in Auto Mode
For more wiring options, an A‑Net Merger Hub such as the MH10 or fiber‑
capable 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 gear rack wiring and 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 A‑Net compatible devices.
