right headphone channel, or both the left and right headphone
channels. This flexibility allows a variety of listening environ
-
ments to be created, including stereo, single-channel monaural,
and dual-channel monaural.
Ethernet Data and PoE
The Model 372A connects to an Ethernet data network using a
standard 100 Mb/s twisted-pair Ethernet interface. The physi
-
cal interconnection is made by way of a Neutrik® etherCON
RJ45 receptacle. While compatible with standard RJ45 plugs,
etherCON allows a ruggedized and locking interconnection
for harsh or high-reliability environments. An LED displays the
status of the network connection.
The Model 372A’s operating power is provided by way of the
Ethernet interface using the 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
standard. This allows fast and efficient interconnection with the
associated data network. To support PoE power management,
the Model 372A’s PoE interface reports to the power sourcing
equipment (PSE) that it’s a class 1 (very low power) device.
Future Capabilities and Firmware
Updating
The Model 372A was designed such that its capabilities and
performance can be enhanced in the future. A USB connector,
located on the unit’s main circuit board (underneath the unit’s
cover), allows the application firmware (embedded software)
to be updated using a USB flash drive.
The Model 372A uses Audinate’s Ultimo™ integrated circuit to
implement the Dante interface. The firmware in this integrated
circuit can be updated via the Ethernet connection, helping to
ensure that its capabilities remain up to date.
