In the case of non-Switchboard-based connecons (e.g. closed networks or STLs), you will need to know the Switchboard
ID (Primary Ethernet MAC Address) of the unit to which you wish to connect. This is input to the “
pop-up in the “” eld.
In addion, the codec receiving the connecon must have a similar entry made, with the Switchboard ID (MAC Address)
of the calling unit populated.

ACCESS NX units operang 4.3-level rmware or higher are able to ulize HotSwap, which allows customers using
CrossLock in “Dual Network” mode to designate one network as primary and the other network as secondary. The
secondary network (e.g. wireless 4G) then backs up the primary network in case of failure.
A typical usage scenario would be a codec that is broadcasng a studio-transmier link (STL) on a 24/7 basis. Because its
oen impraccal (and expensive) to run audio over a 4G wireless network full me, HotSwap ensures that the CrossLock
connecon primarily uses another network (e.g. an ethernet connecon) and only falls over to the 4G wireless network
as a backup when it needs to. When the primary network is restored, Hotswap will switch back to it and connue to hold
the secondary network in a backup state, waing for the next me its needed.
More informaon on HotSwap is available in the Advanced Sengs secon on page 122.
