Item Description What It Does
POWER INPUT IEC 3 prong jack Accepts power from detachable IEC power cable (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 60
Watts max).
DEVICE CONFIG 8 + 5 DIP switch blocks Configures the Ulysses’s ring number (1-31), device address (1-15) as well as the
communications interface (RS-232/Ethernet) and Primary/Secondary designation.
Addressing is done in a binary fashion. (See Device Address Quick Reference ).
RS-232 Female DB9 Serial communications interface with Studio Matrix Designer on the host PC or a
3rd party accessory controller. (Mode is determined by the Ethernet/232 mode switch.)
RS-485 Euroblock Connects to a Control I/O, ARC-PS, ARC or 3rd party RS-485 compatible controller.
10/100 Base T RJ-45 Used for Ethernet control (must be enabled via the Ethernet/232 DIP switch).
TC89 INPUT Female BNC Accepts (ESE) TC89 time code to drive the real-time clock and event scheduler. If
TC89 is used, it should be fed to the unit(s) at address 1 (Primary or P
Secondary).
SYMLINK INPUT/OUTPUT 2 x RJ-45 Connects the Ulysses to the SymLink ring network providing an ultra-fast
64-channel audio/data backbone. OUTPUT connects to the next unit in the ring,
INPUT connects to the previous unit in the ring.
REDUNDANCY LINK Euroblock Connects to a Secondary Ulysses for redundant operation wired IN to OUT, OUT
to IN and GND to GND.
ANALOG OUTPUTS Euroblocks 16 x analog line level audio outputs operating at +4 dBu.
