A-Net Out and A-Net Expansion ports on the AN-16/i
Some points to remember about using the A‑Net Expansion jacks on the
AN‑16/i and AN‑16/o to create a digital snake or audio network:
When creating a system with four AN‑Series units, one •
A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to an A‑Net In port
while the other A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to
an A‑Net Out port.
The A‑Net
• Out jacks on the AN‑16/o Output Modules
should be unused when only four AN‑Series units are
being used to create a system. These are then available for
adding extra AN‑16/o Output Modules for digital splits or
for connecting to a Pro16 monitor mixing system.
The cable connecting the two sides of the system (carrying
•
thirty‑two channels of audio) should be connected to one
A‑Net In port and one A‑Net Out port.
Do not connect Cat‑5e cables carrying expanded system
•
data (more than 16 channels) to an A‑16D or A‑16D Pro
Distributor or Personal Mixer product.
The maximum cable length specification of 500 feet (150
•
meters) applies to the length between an A‑Net In port
and an A‑Net Out port. Cables used to connect devices via
the A‑Net Expansion jacks must fall within this maximum
distance.
An A‑Net Expansion port is
• never connected to another
A‑Net Expansion port.
