Model 5202
Dante to Phones and Line Output Interface
circuit for implementing Dante. The integrat-
ed circuit’s firmware can be updated via the
Ethernet connection, helping to ensure that
its capabilities remain up to date.
Getting Started
Included in the shipping carton are a
Model 5202 Interface and a printed copy
of this guide. As a device that is Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) powered, no external
power source is provided. Should a PoE
midspan power injector be required it must
be purchased separately.
Mounting Options
There is no provision for directly mounting
one or more Model 5202 units in an equip-
ment rack. However, the overall height of
the unit was carefully selected so that it
could be placed without interference on a
single space (1U) rack shelf. The Model
5202’s enclosure width allows up to four
units to be placed side-by-side on a 1U
shelf that’s mounted in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack. Hook-and-loop (“Velcro”)
tape can be used to secure the Model 5202
units to the shelf. A set of mounting brack-
ets is available to allow a Model 5202 to be
attached to the underside of a desk, table,
broadcast set, or other flat surface. Contact
Studio Technologies for details.
Connections
In this section signal interconnections will
be made using the connectors located on
the front and back panel of the Model 5202.
An Ethernet data connection with Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) capability will be made
using either a standard RJ45 patch cable
or an etherCON protected RJ45 plug.
Headphones can be connected using either
the 3.5 mm or ¼-inch 3-conductor phone
jack. Line output connections are made
using two 3-pin male XLR connectors.
Ethernet Connection
A 100BASE-TX Ethernet connection that
supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is re-
quired for Model 5202 operation. This one
connection will provide both the Ethernet
data interface and power for the Model
5202’s circuitry. A 10BASE-T connection is
not sufficient and a 1000BASE-T (“GigE”)
connection is not supported unless it can
automatically “fall back” to 100BASE-TX
operation. For PoE switch (PSE) power
management the Model 5202 will enumerate
itself as a PoE class 1 device.
The Ethernet connection is made by way
of a Neutrik etherCON protected RJ45 con-
nector that is located on the back panel of
the Model 5202. This allows connection by
way of a cable-mounted etherCON plug or
a standard RJ45 plug. The Model 5202’s
Ethernet interface supports auto MDI/MDI-X
so that most cabling implementations will
be correctly supported.
Headphone Output
The Model 5202’s headphone output is
compatible with standard stereo head-
phones, headsets, or earbuds. Connecting
devices with a nominal impedance of 100
ohms or greater is recommended. But this
shouldn’t be an issue since essentially all
of the contemporary devices meet this
recommendation.
Devices are connected to the headphone
output by way of either a 3.5 mm 3-conduc-
tor jack located on the Model 5202’s front
panel or a ¼-inch 3-conductor phone jack
located on the Model 5202’s back panel. As
