PS-8810
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
The CobraNet network carries 8 channels of audio bidirectionally
via a single cable. Connect the PS-8810C to the CobraNet
network using RJ45 terminated standard CAT-5 cable from the
PRIMARY connector on the rear of the unit.
The PRIMARY connection can either be connected to another PS-
8810 unit or other CobraNet compatible component’s PRIMARY
port. A further option is to connect to a port on a 100Mbit
Ethernet switch or hub in order to distribute the network audio to
other devices. Devices that are to communicate with the PS-
8810 will all need unique ethernet IP addresses assigned - see the
CobraNet section for more details.
The SECONDARY connector is for creating a redundant network
for backup purposes. This port should be tied to the backup
Ethernet network. In the event of a failure in the cabling or
hardware connected to the PRIMARY system the PS-8810 will
switch to the SECONDARY network in a matter of seconds.
There are two LEDs built in to the RJ45 sockets on the back of the
unit, these indicators represent the network status.
The left hand LED should light green when a cable that is
connected to an active CobraNet network is plugged in. This
LED will flash to show the presence of network traffic but will
light red if there is a fault. Possible faults could include cabling
or hardware problems and network collisions (often when
installed into an ethernet switch running a lot of network
information).
The right hand LED is green even when no cables are wired to
the port as it represents the active status of the CobraNet
hardware. The LED will change colour to yellow when the unit
has become the ‘conductor’, i.e. is the network master. See the
CobraNet section for more details.
