Splitting networks for extended capacities

SPLITTING NETWORKS FOR EXTENDED CAPACITIES
In order to expand capacities of AVM500-ES, and to bypass the limitations described above, the user can configure the
device in different modes. One particular mode is hardware selectable, thanks to rear-panel dip-switches. Others
configurations are fully software selectable thanks to ES-monitor software.
7.1 PM Multi Networks Mode – Hardware configuration
If and only if the device is Primary Master (PM), the user has access to a hardware selectable mode that re-organizes the
AVM500-ES internal wiring. To access this mode, the dip-switch #1 on the rear panel must be set to “ON” (Fig. 16). To go
back to Mono Network Mode, reset the dip-switch #1 to “OFF”.

When the PM Multi Networks Mode is activated, the AVM500-ES acts as five independent networks. Port {Ain} is directly
connected to an internal switch that addresses the five devices. Doing so, the five output ports {Aout, B, C, D, E} are
available for the user. Fig. 17 illustrates the behaviour of the device when configured in this mode.
Fig. 17: PM Multi Networks Mode
You can notice that each input port will only be addressed by the control PC plugged on port {Ain}, as this mode is only
available when PM. Doing so, each port becomes virtually the PM of its own network. Each network is totally independent
regarding control commands, but is still dependant on audio and clock point of view. Indeed, the bottom of the Fig. 17
indicates that there is no change for the clock propagation, and the audio connection to the Digital Audio Matrix.
