Orient the network module as shown in the picture below, with the text right
side up. Connect the exposed end of the ribbon cable to the connector on the
module, again taking note of the keying of the connectors.

Software Control Concerns
Blah blah blah…
Overview
The extended capabilities of Ci amplifiers are reached when connected to a
NexSys amplifier network via a NexSys module. These modules reside in the Ci’s
module bay and provide control, monitoring, and signal processing features. This
chapter covers the installation of NexSys modules as well as information concerning
computer control of a NexSys system. For more information about controlling a
system with NexSys refer to the NexSys System Manual.
Module Installation
There are two modules through which a Ci amplifier can be connected to a NexSys
network – the NxEthernet8 Module and NxCobranet8 Module. Although they
have different feature sets, they both serve the networking function. Because of this,
they are collectively referred to as “network modules.” The installation procedure
for both is the same.
1
Remove the blank panel covering the Ci’s module bay by removing the screws
on either side of the panel. Save these screws, as they will be needed for fastening
the network module.
2
Inside the exposed module bay you should see the ribbon cable connector on
the amplifier’s circuit board. Note of the way the connector is keyed, and position
the ribbon cable to match. Insert the cable into the connector, with the opposite
end hanging out of the module bay.
3
Position the network module right side up. Connect the exposed end of the
ribbon cable to the connector on the module, again taking note of the keying of
the connectors.
4
Slide the module into the bay, and fasten it to the Ci’s chassis with the screws
removed in Step #1.
