Rear Panel Overview
1 Mains input Use the IEC lead with moulded
mains plug suitable for your local mains voltage.
The protection fuse rating is marked on the rear
panel. The on/off switch is positioned on the rear
panel to prevent accidental operation.
2 Network port RJ45 socket for connection to
an Ethernet network or PC using UTP CAT5 cable.
This port is recommended for configuring the
system with iDR software. The MDI/X switch
selects network or direct to PC operation. The
‘link’ LED lights when communication is
established. The ‘TX’ LED lights when data is
communicated.
Note: The RS232, SysNet and PL-Anet control
ports are not all available at the same time. A
combination of two is selected using iDR System
Manager. The associated ‘active’ LED lights when
the port is available.
3 RS232 (MODEM) port This is used for
connection to a modem so that the unit can be
interrogated by a remote PC over a standard
telephone line. It can also be used for system
configuration using iDR System Manager software
but the faster network port is recommended.
4 Port active indicators These light when the
port has been selected using the iDR System
Manager configuration software.
5 SysNet port An RS232 serial port for
communication with third party remote controllers
running the Allen & Heath SysNet protocol.
6 PL-Anet port An RS485 serial port for
communication with a network of Allen & Heath
PL wall plates and remote controllers using CAT5
STP cable.
7 DR-Link port RJ45 socket for control of iDR
audio and logic expander units using CAT5 STP
cable. IN and OUT ports are provided on the
expander units so that the control can be daisy
chained through a system with more than one
expander.
8 Audio expander ports RJ45 sockets for
communicating 8 channel digital audio between
the iDR-4 and its expanders using CAT5 STP
cable. Two cables are required between the
expander and iDR-4, one for the audio, the other
for DR-Link control.
9 Audio inputs Balanced XLR inputs for
microphone / line level sources 1 and 2, balanced
TRS jacks for line level sources 3 to 6. Adding the
iDR-in expands the iDR-4 to 14 physical inputs.
10 Audio outputs Balanced XLR for line level
outputs 1 to 4, balanced TRS jack for outputs 5
and 6. Maximum +18dBu level. Adding the iDR-
out expands the iDR-4 to 14 physical outputs.
11 Monitor inputs and outputs These are
available on TRS input and output jacks 5 and 6
instead of the channels when selected using iDR
System Manager software. They can daisy chain
through multiple iDR units.
12 Switch closure inputs These are provided
on the iDR-switch. They can be hard wired from
remote wall plate and controller switches and
relays.
13 Open collector logic outputs These are
provided on the iDR-switch. They can be used to
control LEDs, lamps, relays and other devices.
14 Earth terminals These are provided to earth
(ground) the switch and logic output cable
shields.
