The diagrams that follow use generic input and output module icons. Any
Pro64 I/O device can be substituted unless otherwise noted.
Auto Mode Connections
In Auto Mode, the 6416i’s A‑Net ports on the rear panel can be connected in
any combination to other Pro64 devices. In the following examples, network
performance and functionality are unaffected by the changes in cabling.

The Cat-5 A-Net cable can be connected to either Port A or Port B. Reversing
the A-Net connections causes the same results. Either port can be used to
expand the network.
Up to 16 analog audio inputs can be activated on the 6416i Input Module.
Pro64 devices can be connected to the 6416i using either Port A or Port B; the
same active channels will be available at the output module.
Remember that the entire 64‑channel A‑Net stream (at 48kHz) is always
received and transmitted through every Pro64 module. The A‑Net Slot
selection simply tunes a module in to a specific range of channels.
