Some points to remember about using the A‑Net Expansion jacks on the
Pro16 input modules and AN‑16/o to create a digital snake or audio network:
When creating a network with four Pro16 Series units, one •
A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to an A‑Net In port
while the other A‑Net Expansion jack will be connected to
an A‑Net Out port.
The A‑Net
• Out jacks on the AN‑16/o Output Modules
should be empty when only four Pro16 Series units are
being used to create a network. These are then available
for adding audio splits with additional AN‑16/o Output
Modules or for connecting to a Personal Monitor Mixing
System.
The cable connecting the two sides of the network (carry‑
•
ing thirty‑two channels of audio) should be connected to
one A‑Net In port and one A‑Net Out port.
Do not connect Cat‑5e cables carrying expanded system
•
data (more than 16 channels) to an A‑16D A‑Net Distributor
or A‑16II Personal Mixer.
The maximum cable length specification of 500 feet (150
•
meters) applies to the length between an A‑Net In port
and an A‑Net Out port. Cables used to connect devices via
the A‑Net Expansion jacks must fall within this maximum
distance.
An A‑Net Expansion port is never connected to another
•
A‑Net Expansion port.
The A‑Net Main Out on the AN‑16/i‑M is the only A‑Net jack
•
that works with the Expansion port.
In the following examples, either A-Net input module, the AN-16/i or the
AN-16/i-M, can be used. Only one device is shown in the illustrations. They are
referred to generically as “Pro16 input modules.”
