NetA Fiber Network Card
The NetA network card allows the Fiber-Optic networking of up to 25 Audio Engines. The network
circulates up to 255 channels for AE-C2 cards, and up to 504 channels for AE-C6 cards, of 24-bit
TDM digital audio, through all Audio Engines. The Fiber-Optic ports of the NetA consist of Dual 1-
GB Optical Audio Network Ports on each NetA card.
The AE-C2 card supports NetA info for up to 255 channels. No network
channel should ever be set above 255 on Audio Engines with an AE-C2 card.
The AE-C6 card supports NetA info for up to 504 channels. No network
channel should ever be set above 504 on Audio Engines with an AE-C2 card.
Connections are made using a standard 3-Meter Fiber-Optic 2F RIB cable with MTRJ/MTRJ
connectors (Siecor or equivalent dual mode). These leads can also be ordered in other lengths to
suit split equipment rooms or rack bays.
Some models of the NetA card have a DB9 connector marked External Sync.
This connector is not functional and as such should never have anything
connected to it.
A block diagram of the Fiber-Optic hookup and External Sync connections of four Audio Engines
using NetA cards is shown below in Figure 2.
