Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
Dante Audio Switching Board LEDs
Dante Audio Switching Boards contain two RJ-45 ports (one Primary Dante port and one Secondary Dante port) per
board (FIG. 71). Each RJ-45 port contains LEDs that indicate network connection (green) and network speed (yellow).
NOTE:
Using Dante Controller’s Identify Device mode (Network View>Device View>Identify button), both LEDs blink on off
at 1 second intervals for 10 seconds.
Attaching the HSSI SMA (Sub-miniature version A) Cable
An HSSI (High-Speed Serial Interface) SMA cable (AMX part # 64-0051) is provided when Dante Audio Switching Boards
are either purchased separately or with an enclosure. The HSSI cable attaches from the ASB input board to the ASB output
board and is required on all enclosure models except the Enova
DGX 6400. Do not dispose of or break this cable as Dante
Audio Switching Boards will not function without it.
While the newest Enova DGX 100 Series enclosures no longer require the HSSI cable for Dante Audio Switching
Boards, it remains best practice to install the HSSI cable during initial setup of Enova DGX 800/1600/3200 systems.
The command
?EXT_AUD
sent to 5002:1:0 responds with
TRUE
when the cable is attached and the Audio Switching
Boards are fully functional.
1.
Press and hold the cable connector face flat against the Audio Switching Input Board’s HSSI SMA connector face.
2.
Using your free hand, push cable connector’s coupling nut forward until threads begin to engage between
connectors.
IMPORTANT:
The cable must not be allowed to rotate while tightening the coupling nut to avoid damage to the center conductor
(male pin) on the SMA connector.
3.
Rotate coupling nut clockwise until resistance is felt, being careful to avoid cross-threading coupling nut.
4.
Attach free-running end of cable to Dante Audio Switching Output Board’s HSSI SMA connector per Steps 1-3.
5.
Test/check the routing of Dante Audio Switching Board signals (see page 161).
