Network In/Out
The Network Out socket on a Soundweb unit connects to the Network In socket on
another unit. Repeat this process to make a network of devices. Audio channels are
passed ‘downstream’ from the Net Out socket on the first unit to the Net In socket on the
next unit. The Soundweb system automatically completes this ‘daisy chain’ of device
connections to form a loop (using a 'back channel'), as shown by the dotted line in the
diagram below.
This shows that audio channels are routed back from the terminal device (the one without
a connection to its Net Out socket) to the first device (the one without a connection on its
Net In socket).
There must be no physical cable connection between the two end devices.
The connecting cable is CAT. 5 network cable terminated with RJ45 connectors, with all 8
cores wired straight through.
Note that the twisted pairs in any CAT. 5 network cable must be wired to the following pin
pairs at each terminal:
1 (White/Orange) with 2 (Orange)
3 (White/Green) with 6 (Green)
4 (Blue) with 5 (White/Blue)
7 (White/Brown) with 8 (Brown)
Aux. RS232
An alternative connection for a control PC, modem or AMX/Crestron type panel. This
port works at 115200bps. Note that AMX panels only currently connect at 38400bps.
