The HUB 4000 is the intelligent hardware
interface between a WMS 4000 wireless
system and one (or several) PCs. No more
need for cumbersome cabling; the HUB 4000
concentrates the data flow of up to eight recei-
vers and connects easily to any PC with an
Ethernet interface.
Naturally, complex systems can also use sever-
al HUB 4000s – in fact, up to 16. With eight
receivers per hub, you can operate a maximum
of 128 receivers – from a single PC!
The HUB 4000 meets all standards and re-
quirements for smooth operation with PC com-
ponents. Connection to the PC or PC network
is via standard CAT-5 Ethernet cables with RJ-
45 connectors, while the data are transmitted
via IP protocol.
Working with WMS 4000 multichannel
systems, you can optimize operating conve-
nience and reliability by simply linking the
WMS 4000 PC network components with
standard PC accessories. This allows you to
send receiver data through the HUB to a wire-
less LAN, and receive them on a tablet PC. In
the REHEARSAL mode, you can take the PC
on the stage and monitor important data such
as RF levels on site. This makes it incredibly
easy to set up the most complex system and
ensures maximum operating reliability.
