Cat-5e
All Cat‑5e connections between A‑Net devices should use Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The cable can be of the stranded or solid type; solid
wire performs better over long distances while stranded wire is more flexible
and easier to manipulate and therefore easier to work with in a performance
situation.
Cables designated as Cat‑5e in Pro64 documentation can be interchanged
with any Cat‑6 (or better) cable. Cables will be referred to simply as “Cat‑5e.”
Connectors on Cat‑5e cables can be of the standard RJ45 variety or of the
locking Neutrik EtherCon type.
Firmware Update
The Pro64 firmware can be updated in the field using a PC and the Pro64
Update Tool. Modules can be updated over A‑Net, while part of an active
audio network, or in local mode where no other modules are connected at
the time the update is being performed (such as may be required for a bench
configuration when setting up modules prior to installation).
Updating a module requires the Aviom Pro64 Update Tool application, a PC
host computer with RS‑232 connection capability, a null modem DB9 cable,
and the update file for the particular Pro64 device being updated. Refer
to the Aviom website for information about the availability of the latest
firmware upgrades and feature updates.
The MH10 or MH10f must be connected to another Pro64 device with Virtual
Data Cable™ capability in order to be updated.
