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 6416dio’s A‑Net ports on the rear panel can be connected
to other Pro64 devices interchangeably. In the following examples, network
performance and functionality are unaffected by the changes in cabling.

The 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 digital audio inputs can be activated on the 6416dio Digital I/O
Module. Other Pro64 devices can be connected using either Port A or Port B
to expand the network. In both cases, the 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.
