C AC IN Connector
Connect the supplied AC power cord here. First,
connect the power cord to the device, then insert the
power cord plug into the AC outlet.
The supplied power cord features a special latching
mechanism (V-LOCK) to prevent the power cord
from being accidentally disconnected. Connect the
power cord by inserting the power cord fully until it is
locked.
CAUTION:
Be sure to turn the power off
before connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.
Press the latch button on the
plug to disconnect the power
cord.
D [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors
The Ri8-D/Ro8-D can be connected to other
Dante-compatible devices (such as a CL-series
product) via these RJ45 connectors using standard
Ethernet cables (CAT5e or better recommended).
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set upward (to
DAISY CHAIN), audio signals coming into one of
these connectors will be output from the other. Refer
to “Daisy Chain Network” in the “About Connections”
section (see page 14) for more information on daisy
chain connections.
If DIP switch 4 on the front panel is set downward (to
REDUNDANT), the [PRIMARY] connector will be
used for primary connection, and the [SECONDARY]
connector will be used for secondary (backup)
connection. If the unit is unable to transmit signals
through the [PRIMARY] connector for some reason
(e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of the
cable, or a failed network switch), the [SECONDARY]
connector will automatically take over the
connection. Refer to “About Redundant Networks” in
the “About Connections” section (see page 14) for
more information on redundant networks.
NOTE
• Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent
electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal
parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP
cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.
• Connect only Dante-compatible devices or
GbE-compatible devices (including a computer).
E [LINK/ACT] Indicators
These indicators show the communication status of
the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] connectors.
They flash fast if the Ethernet cables are connected
properly.
F [1G] Indicators
These indicators light when the Dante network is
functioning as Giga-bit Ethernet.
G Grounding screw
Grounding of chassis shall be sufficiently connected
via a power supply cord as long as AC socket is
grounded since the attached power supply cord is a
triplex cable.In addition, connecting this screw to
ground may prevent hum noise or interference noise.
