VistaMax Network Connections

When the VistaMax Link is activated (optional feature), the NetWave console’s RJ-45 VistaMax Link

connection, located next to the DC power connector, connects the console to any available Hub Card facet on

a VistaMax, Envoy, or VMConnect card frame using a Link cable (Figure 2-42). A Link cable is a CAT-6

crossover cable of up to 330 feet [100 meters] in length. It carries 64 stereo audio signals bi-directionally

between the NetWave console and the Hub card facet. Sources from the VistaMax system may also have

logic signals associated with the audio to control the console channels. The console channel on and off logic

can also control associated logic outputs on the VistaMax system.

Figure 2-42. NetWave Console Link and LAN Connections

The RJ-45 LAN connectors on the rear panel tie Dual Router panels (optional feature) individually to the

VistaMax LAN. These can be directly connected to the main network switch (where all of the card frames, the

consoles, the admin computer, and the VistaMax edge device panels connect). When several Dual Router

panels are installed, they can connect to a small network hub or switch which, in turn, connects to the main

network switch. Section 4 – “Linked NetWave Consoles” and the VistaMax (75-52) and Envoy (75-55)

manuals give additional details on Link cables and Dual Router panel LAN cables, as well as setup and

configuration details.
