Important network considerations
This product is designed to operate on a network backbone or infrastructure. The
design, implementation and maintenance of this infrastructure is critical to correct
operation and performance. Peavey Electronics does not support nor service
network cabling, hubs, switches, patch bays, wall plates, connector panels or any
other type of network interconnect device. Please ensure that these components and
their associated installation techniques have been properly designed and installed for
audio and network applications.
Refer to the document Working with CobraNet for more information.
Power outage and surge protection
We recommend the use of an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect against power
outages. We also recommend the use of a power surge protection device, such as a Surge-X
(http://www.surgex.com). This provides protection from destructive spikes, surges and
inductive transients.
