Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the 6416i Input Module. This User Guide is
designed to familiarize you with the features and functions of your new
Pro64® product. All Pro64 products are powered by A‑Net®, Aviom’s
proprietary data transmission protocol designed especially for the unique
demands of live streaming audio. In developing the Pro64 Series, we have
made every effort to make the user interface as easy to use and understand
as possible. We encourage you to read the manual completely, as some of the
powerful features of your new product may not be immediately apparent.

The EtherCon Connector
Pro64 Series products feature locking connectors for all network I/O. The
Neutrik® EtherCon connector is a dual RJ45‑type connector that can receive
a standard Category 5e cable or a cable fitted with the special locking
EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat‑5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the
EtherCon jack; release the cable by pressing on the small plastic tab built into
the cable connector.
The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR plug, the kind commonly
used on microphone cables. Insert an EtherCon‑equipped cable into the
jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal
release tab at the top of the panel‑mounted EtherCon jack and pull the
connector outward.
