Pro64 Interface Conventions
Many Pro64 Series products have similar user interface components,
including buttons, LEDs, and switches. When describing the features and
functions of Pro64 Series products, the following conventions will be used.
Cat-5e
All Cat‑5e connections between A‑Net devices should use Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The cable can be of the stranded or solid type; solid
wire performs better over long distances, while stranded wire is more flexible
and easier to manipulate and therefore easier to work with in a performance
situation.
Cables designated as Cat‑5e in Pro64 documentation can be interchanged
with any Cat‑6 (or better) cable. Cables will be referred to simply as “Cat‑5e.”
Connectors on Cat‑5e cables can be of the standard RJ45 variety or locking
Neutrik EtherCon type.
Button Presses
When referring to specific front‑panel labels, LEDs, and buttons or when
describing a Pro64 function that requires the press of a button on the front
panel of a device, a special typeface will be used. For example, “Press the
E
ntEr
button to confirm the sample rate change.”
Buttons that work in combination, giving the user a choice when performing
an operation, will be referred to as one unit. For example, “Changing the
sample rate requires the user to confirm the change using the Enter/Cancel
buttons.“
Changing Values
When editing values on the front panel of a Pro64 device, some operations
will require the use of the inc/dec (short for increment/decrement) buttons.
These buttons scroll up and down through a list of available values. Holding
the button down does not accelerate scrolling. The front panel of a Pro64
module is marked only with indicator arrows. (See the drawing on the
following page.)
