Expansion I/O ports
ThefourRJ45connectorsontherearpanelareused
to interconnect LecNet2™ units together. These ports 
are only used to transfer digital audio information via 
the Digital Audio Network Interface (DANI) between the 
units.
WARNING: The Expansion I/O connectors are 
NOT EtherNet, CobraNet or any other network 
based device interconnects. Connecting them 
to Ethernet, CobraNet or other network based 
device may cause damage to either unit.
In a stacked configuration, one unit must be configured 
as the Master unit and the others as Slave units. Con-
figuring a unit as a Master or a Slave can be done using 
theControlPanelGUIinterface.
Note: In order to use the convenient Control Panel 
GUI,LecNet2™mustbeinstalledontheattached
computer system. (See Installing LecNet2™ 
Software and USB Driver.)
To connect the Master/Slave units, plug one end of a 12 
inch Cat5e cable (two are supplied with each with unit) 
to the transmit (TX) port on the Master unit, and con-
nect the other end to the corresponding receiver (RX) 
port on the Slave unit immediately below the Master. 
Repeat this procedure with the second Cat5e cable. 
(See Expansion Port Digital Audio Network Interface 
Interconnection Diagram.)
CAUTION: Do not connect these ports to each 
other on a single unit, and to not cross the 
cables between the units.
Master/Slave Configuration
When stacking multiple units, one unit is always set as 
the Master and all subsequent units are set as Slaves.
