Power Supply
The unit is shipped with a wall mount DC power
supply rated at 12 volts, 500 mA. Other suitable
power supplies in the range of 9 to 15 volts may also
be used. The unit has an internal bridge rectifier on
the power supply input so that the user need not be
concerned with the polarity of the power connector
being used.
Audio Connections
The eight stereo audio inputs and eight stereo audio
outputs are located on the rear panel of the device.
The connectors are phono (RCA) style unbalanced.
Serial Interface
The RS232 Interface connections use RJ11 type
connectors located on the rear panel. The unit is
supplied with a cable adapter for connecting the
system to standard DB9 Serial Comm Ports. The two
RJ11 connectors on the rear panel of the system are
labeled HOST, and LOOP. The cable adapter is
configured for connection to a standard DTE Serial
Interface common to most all personal computers.
Refer to the Appendix section, for detailed
information on the serial interface connections. For
systems employing a single AS8x8 unit, the serial
cable is connected to the rear panel RJ11 connector
labeled HOST. For systems using multiple AS8x8's,
the systems are "daisy-chained" by connecting the
LOOP connector of each unit to the HOST connector
of the next successive unit.
