Connecting the System Bridge
Adding a System Bridge to a system is quite simple. Two System Bridges are
used to create a network The four A‑Net connectors (labeled A, B, C, and
D) on the one side of the network are directly related to the A, B, C, and D
connectors on the other side of the network. That is, if you patch an AN‑16/i
Input Module into port “A” on one side of a System Bridge, an AN‑16/o Output
Module would be connected to port “A” on the other side of the System
Bridge. See the following diagram.

This diagram shows the relationship of the A, B, C, and D ports on the AN-16SB.
A complete network using four units per side follows the same pattern. A
Pro16 input module connected to port B on one side of the network connects
to an AN‑16/o Output Module via port B on the other side of the network.
The same goes for ports C and D, as seen in the following diagram.

A-Net ports A, B, C, and D shown connected in a 64 x 0 network configuration
To connect a 64 channel network (64 x 0):
On the Send side
Connect a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out of the first 1.
Pro16 input module to port A on the first System Bridge.
Repeat this process to connect the A‑Net out from the
2.
remaining three AN‑16/i or AN‑16/i‑M Input Modules to
ports B, C, and D.
On the Receive side
Connect a Cat‑5e cable from port A on the second System 3.
Bridge to the A‑Net In jack on the first AN‑16/o Output
Module.
