PR&E
The NetWave console’s RJ-45 Link jack (Figure 2-8) is next to the keyed DC power connector on the rear
panel. The jack connects the console to any available VistaMax Hub card facet using a cross-over CAT-5e or
CAT-6 cable (customer supplied). The maximum length of a Link cable is 330 feet [100 meters].

Link or Link Plus activation adds these capabilities to the NetWave console:
●
A routed (or network) signal can be set as either the A or B source on any fader channel.
●
A routed signal can be used instead of the local Ext In 1 and/or Ext In 2 monitor input.
●
Various console buses (four programs, two mix-minuses, Telco record, and stereo cue) plus one local
audio input (either analog or digital) from each channel can be a network source, available for routing to
any VistaMax destination.
●
Link Plus Activation adds four more network-only Telco mix-minus signals. On a NetWave-24 console,
these signals replace the source signals normally available from audio inputs 21–24.
To install either activation kit, you must power off the console and remove the Monitor Control panel.
Note: Discharge possible static charges before performing this procedure or handling any PROM.
