2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITS.
In order to understand the installation and cabling process associated to each unit, first you
need to be familiar with the connectors and other specific elements of the AoIP solution
described in this manual and the equipment front and back panels. In the case of BC2000D,
ARENA, FORUM, GRAND FORUM and CAPITOL IP units, have in mind that the general
information about them is included in the respective user manuals, so this one includes only
specific pieces of information related to the AoIP solution.
2.1. BC2214 and BC2224 modules description.
2.1.1. Front panel description.
Any number of BC2214/BC2224 modules can be installed in the back Input/Output
slots of the BC2000D router or ARENA digital mixing console frames. Each module has
two connectors, LAN 1 and LAN 2, each one with its respective physical link signaling
LEDs.
-
LAN LEDs: indicate the status of the audio local area network: LAN 1 (main
interface) and LAN 2 (secondary interface).
Status:
•
Off: no local network connection.
•
Blinking green: link is established at data level.
•
Steady yellow: link is established at physical level only.
If the boards are wired to a dedicated audio network using a switch, in LAN 1 only, the
green LED should be blinking and the yellow one should be steady on. If the wiring is
connected in "Daisy Chain" mode, without switch, or there is a redundant network, both
green LEDs should be blinking and both yellow ones should be steady on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When there is a redundant network, primary and secondary
interfaces must be connected to separated networks.
2.2. FR14 module description.
2.2.1. Front panel description.
One or two FR14 modules can be installed in the FORUM digital mixing console
back Input/Output slots 14 and 13, respectively. Each module features two
connectors, LAN 1 and LAN 2, with their corresponding physical connection
indicator LEDs:
-
LAN LEDs: indicate the status of the audio local area network: LAN 1
(main interface) and LAN 2 (secondary interface).
Status:
•
Off: no local network connection.
•
Blinking green: link is established at data level.
•
Steady yellow: link is established at physical level only.
If the boards are wired to a dedicated audio network using a switch, in LAN 1 only, the green
LED should be blinking and the yellow one should be steady on. If the wiring is connected in
"Daisy Chain" mode, without switch, or there is a redundant network, both green LEDs should
be blinking and both yellow ones should be steady on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When there is a redundant network, primary and secondary interfaces
must be connected to separated networks.
