Connexion to EtherSound network is made on the "Network In" connector for incoming EtherSound stream and on
the "Network Out" for outgoing EtherSound stream.
7.5 Connecting GX 3016 consoles and an RS232 serial control device
Preamble : the following explanation made for GX 3016 console is also available for all other bus console types (GXT
4000, …) from Bouyer.
The GX 3016 microphone console is a PA console with zone selection. It handles general PA broadcasting plus
broadcasts in up to 16 different zones. It is designed to operate using an RS485 bus architecture, meaning that
several consoles can be used on the same installation.
Up to two GX 3016 console buses can be connected to the DN 3816. All the consoles on the same RS485 bus
occupy just one audio channel. The consoles determine automatically which gets to use (occupy) the single audio
channel.
Bus 1 of the DN 3816 uses audio input 5 and bus 2 uses audio input 6.
Up to thirty-two GX 3016 consoles can be connected to a single DN 3816 matrix. The RS485 serial link allows the
consoles to be chained together up to a total maximum length of 1200 m without use of a repeater. The GX 3016
consoles should be connected to either bus 1 or bus 2 depending on the type of application being implemented. For
more information on installing and cabling the GX 3016 consoles, refer to the GX 3016 User Manual.
The GX 3016 consoles connected to bus 1 must be set to address 1 and the consoles connected to bus 2 to address
2 (see figure above). To set the addresses on the GX 3016 consoles, refer to the GX 3016 User Manual. Use the
RJ45 cable to connect up the GX 3016 consoles (refer to the wiring details below).
