Redundant Powering Options
1) PoE on the Primary CAT5 Network link
The MinFerno/3 can be powered from any of 3 different sources:
3) External 12V DC
Four off rear panel LEDs show the availability of the 3 power sources.

Primary & Secondary SFP Slots
The SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) fibre slots are standard networking ports that
accept standard SFP modules. This means that you decide what type of fibre and
connector style you want to use just by the SFP module that you insert. The primary &
secondary network circuits allow for glitch free redundancy across both the Fibre &
Copper network interfaces.
Ÿ
Primary & Secondary Copper Network Connections with PoE
Two CAT6 connections on Neutrik Ethercons (that accept standard networking
cables) are provided to allow copper connections to local network switches to carry
the Dante®/ AES67 audio. Two connections are fitted to allow redundant circuits to be
used if required. Both these connectors can accept a PoE power source for providing
the power to the MinFerno/3.
2) PoE on the Secondary CAT5 Network link

Input Mode & Gain
One pair of push buttons selects the input type of the front panel XLR to be either
microphone, line or microphone with 48V phantom power. Three LEDs indicate which
input mode is selected.
Two push buttons are used to alter the gain of the input. LEDS indicate if the gain
setting is above or below our pre-configured ‘lineup’ levels. The front panel PPM of
course provides an accurate indication of the input level.
The gain can also be altered remotely by a web browser pointing at the MinFerno/3
web page.
