Channels are numbered from 1-8 and from 9-16. The Bank Select button
determines which set of channels is being addressed.
Keep in mind that the number of available Slots in the network is determined
by the current network sample rate as set by the Clock Master.

use the inc/dec selection buttons below the A‑Net Slot display to select the
desired range. When the selection button is pressed, the new range displayed

to exit without changing the A‑Net Slot range and
return to the previous setting. If no press of the Enter/Cancel button is
detected within a brief period of time, the interface will automatically cancel
the range change request, returning to the previous state.
Setting a new input Slot range on the 6416dio will deactivate any currently
active channels to avoid resource conflicts with other modules in the
network.
Network Mode
The Network Mode section of the 6416dio interface is used to select Auto
Mode or Manual Mode operation and to choose Transmit and Receive ports
for the Input and Output sections of the 6416dio. Note that selection of the
network mode can only be made from the network’s Control Master. See
page 18 for additional information on Network Modes.
