5 Dante [PRIMARY] connector
Dante [SECONDARY]
connector
This is an etherCON jack to which you
connect Dante-enabled devices like a
Yamaha digital mixer, using an
Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better is
recommended).
NOTICE
Use an STP (shielded twisted pair cable) to
avoid electromagnetic interference. Make
sure that the gold part of the connector and
the cable shield are securely in contact by
using conductor tape or similar material.
NOTE
• The etherCON latch faces downward on this
product. Use caution when unplugging the
cable.
• Do not connect devices besides those which
are Dante-enabled or support GbE
(including computers).
• Cables up to a length of 100 m
*1
can be
used.
*1: This length may differ depending on the
cable type.
• Do not use the EEE function
*2
of network
switches in a Dante network.
Although power management should be
negotiated automatically in switches that
support EEE, some switches do not perform
the negotiation properly.
This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante
networks when it is not appropriate, resulting
in poor clock synchronization performance
and occasional audio dropouts.
Therefore, we strongly recommend the
following:
- When using a managed switch, turn off the
EEE function on all ports used by Dante.
Do not use a switch on which the EEE
function cannot be disabled.
- For unmanaged switches, do not use a
switch that supports the EEE function.
These switches cannot turn off the EEE
function.
*2: EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a
technology that reduces switch power
consumption the Ethernet devices during
periods of low network traffic. This is also
known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.
6 [LINK/ACT] indicators
These indicators flash when the Dante
[PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors
are connected to a Dante network.
7 [1G] indicators
These indicators light up when the
Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY]
connectors are connected to a Dante
network on a gigabit connection.
Using the 5V DC IN jack
Even when this unit is connected
to a computer, you can power this
unit from an external power supply
via the [5V DC IN] jack if the
[POWER SOURCE] switch is
switched to [5V DC IN]. Using an
external power supply prevents
the unit from operating erratically
due to insufficient power from your
computer’s USB port, and
prevents noise-related problems
caused by the power supply.
