the Expansion jacks on the Pro16 input and output modules are
not used.
System Bridge
The AN‑16SBR System Bridge is a two‑part accessory that takes in up to four
A‑Net data streams and combines them for transmission. A single Cat‑5e cable
can then be run to the destination. At the destination, another System Bridge
is used to separate the A‑Net streams. The four separate A‑Net data streams
can then be connected to Pro16 A‑Net compatible devices as needed.
