A-Net Loop Connections
The A-Net Loop Connection allows A-Net information to be shared between chassis. A-Net
provides status feedback to OLED2 Touchpads and is used to transmit serial data and
Sense Input information between AH66T chassis. A-Net allows ELAN’s C2 Communication
Controller, V85 or V8 Video Routers to interface with the AH66T.
Connect the A-Net OUT of the main chassis to the A-Net IN of the second chassis. Connect
the A-Net OUT of the second chassis to the VIANet IN of the C2, etc.

The A-Net color code is NOT the same as TIA/EIA568A or TIA/EIA568B. A-Net requires a
proprietary color code to function properly.
Figure 3-20: A-Net Color Code
It is important to use this color code for A-Net connections.
A-Net data travels on conductors 3 and 4 and a twisted pair must be maintained for proper
functionality. Both the TIA/EIA568A and TIA/EIA568B color codes split this pair.
Use this color code for VIANet connections between ELAN equipment also.
