- Check and establish configuration options for each device, including:
•
Change device’s name.
•
Modify sampling frequency and clock.
•
Display detailed network information.
•
Access the device’s web page in order to upgrade firmware and license information (for compatible devices).
•
Identify a device by means of, for example, LEDs blinking (only for compatible devices).
- Check network status information, including:
•
Multicast bandwidth in the network.
•
Transmitted and received bandwidth for each device.
- Device performance information, including latency and packet error statistics.

General specifications.
- Dimensions and weight: 44 x 211 x 170 mm; 1.73" x 8.30" x 6.69" (two units in a single rack width). 1 kg (2,2 lbs).
- Power supply: External DC 48V power supply(90 - 264V AC, 47-63Hz) or Power over
Ethernet that can be enhanced (PoE+, up to 25.5 watts) or standard (PoE, up to 15.4 watts). When both are present the external DC 48V power supply is used. When the unit is connected to a signaling box or relay GPOs are used, PoE power supply is not enough and PoE+ must be used.
- Cooling: quiet natural convection cooling, compatible with operation inside the studio.
- Temperature operating range: -10 to + 45 º C (14 to 114 º F).
- “FR CAB INP“ cabling accessories-compatible audio outputs.
- “CP CAB GPIO” cabling accessories-compatible general GPIs and GPOs.
Easy to install.
The unit has the width of half a 19” rack, and is provided with two fixing brackets, two lateral plates that can be fixed to the base or top of the unit, and 4 desktop legs.
These options allow the user to install the device in a wide variety of positions:
- As a desktop unit, on its foots.
- As a desktop unit, fixed to the surface with brackets.
- Rack-mounted horizontally or vertically.
- Fixed to a piece of furniture or wall vertically, using the mounting brackets.
- Two devices can be mounted in parallel and installed in a 19” with the mounting brackets.
- One device can be mounted in a 19” with the optional rack kit.
