Repeat this process to connect ports B, C, and D to the 4.
remaining AN‑16/o Output Modules.
Connect the two sides of the audio network by running
5.
a Cat‑5e cable (with or without an EtherCon connector)
between the Bridge jacks on the System Bridges.
To use other configurations, simply move any pair of input and output
modules.
In the following example, the devices connected to port D on the AN‑16SBR
System Bridge have been swapped to create a 48‑channel send x 16‑channel
return system.

A 48 x 16 system is created by exchanging the units connected to port D on the System
Bridge.
Remember, the total cable length between A‑Net devices should not exceed
500 feet. Cables used to connect A‑Net devices to the System Bridge are
included in this calculation.
Configuration Notes
When configuring 64‑channel systems that send data in both directions,
Aviom suggests the following module combinations. While not mandatory,
these suggestions are made to accommodate the standard wiring practices
that Ethernet cables use. Some wire pairs in a standard Ethernet Cat‑5e cable
are not next to each other inside the jacket of the cable. This can account for
slightly higher data errors in rare cases.
The configuration recommendations apply to systems configured as
16 x 48 and 32 x 32, not those sending data in only one direction. The module
combinations are applicable especially when using long cable runs.
For 16 x 48 (or 48 x 16) configurations, place the three similar modules
together, connected to either ports A, B, and C on the System Bridge or to
ports B, C, and D, See the following diagrams.
