In Auto Mode, modules can be connected to any port on the MH10.
Note that in the example, it does not matter which A‑Net port (A or B) on the
I/O modules is connected to the MH10. Likewise, on the MH10, the choice of
A‑Net port (1 through 10) does not matter. Any audio channel made active
on the input module in the diagram will be available to all output modules.
Remember that the modules shown in the diagrams can be analog, digital,
or console interface cards as needed. Likewise, the RCI can be connected to
any available port to add remote control capabilities.
Manual Mode Connections
When creating bidirectional networks that require more than 64 channels
(at 48kHz), Manual Mode is the answer. Unlike Auto Mode, Manual Mode
requires that the user pay attention to which A‑Net port (A or B) is used
when connecting network cables to each module. As implemented in the
Pro64 Series of products, A‑Net is a truly bidirectional stream of up to 64x64
channels at all times.
In the examples that follow, the diagrams will indicate the specific A‑Net port
on an I/O module that is in use. Input modules such as the 6416m can send
active audio channels to Port A, Port B, or both Ports A and B.

Port A is being used to send active audio inputs into the network, indicated
by the square surrounding the “A” Port.
