1-8 — Merges the incoming A‑Net data from
ports 1‑8 to one stream and distributes the merged data
to ports 8‑10. A redundant data path is created when
either two MH10 (Cat‑5e) or two MH10f (fiber) units are
connected together via ports 9 and 10.
Port 8 is special when configuration C is used. It inputs
data to the Merger function and outputs the complete
merged 64‑channel stream, providing a local digital split
of all inputs.
Incoming A‑Net data streams from ports 9 and 10 are
distributed to ports 1‑7.
A-Net Port LEDs
Valid A‑Net data connected to any of the rear‑panel A‑Net ports is indicated
by a lit A‑Net activity LED on the front panel.
The activity LED lights to indicate the presence of a valid A-Net stream. Ports
4, 6, 7, and 9 are shown as active.
A-Net LED
The blue LED found within the A‑Net logo functions as the network activity
indicator. When a module is powered up, its A‑Net LED will flash while a
request to enter the network is sent to and then processed by the Control
Master. Once a module is enumerated and is part of the Pro64 network, the
blue A‑Net LED will light solidly.
The blue A‑Net LED is also used during the firmware update process.
Firmware updates on an MH10/MH10f must be initiated from another Pro64
device which has VDC capability.
