both A‑Net ports on the rear of the 6416i Input Module. Once the Control
Master has set the network to operate in Manual Mode, the red Manual
LED and at least one of the yellow Port LEDs will be lit on every Pro64 I/O
module.
Three options are available:

B ‑ (both LEDs are lit) the 6416i transmits
its active channels out of both the A and B ports.
A-Net data is set to transmit out
of Port B in Manual Mode in this
example.
Changing the A-Net Transmit Port
This applies to Manual Mode only; no user settings are available in Auto
Mode. The VDCs are not affected by the network mode.
Use the selector button below the Auto/Manual Mode LED readout to cycle
through the three options. When a new configuration is selected, the selected
Port LED and the Enter/Cancel LED will blink; confirmation is required. Press

to exit without making a
change and return to the previous setting.
Changing the port transmit settings in Manual Mode has no effect on the
current channel activation settings.
Clock Master
One device in a Pro64 network will always be set as the network’s Clock
Master. In a network with only analog I/O modules, the module set as the
Control Master is also set to be the Clock Master by default. The Module set
as the Clock Master will have its Clock Master LED lit.
When digital I/O modules are used in a network, incoming word clock or AES3
(also referred to as AES/EBU) digital data streams can also be clock sources. It
