QUICK GUIDE TO VISTAMAX CONNECTIONS
The KSU card has two Facet connections to integrate the console with a VistaMax Audio Management System. Each
connection can tie to a facet on a VistaMax Hub card. Each facet carries 64 audio channels and associated logic to a
VistaMax frame as well as 64 audio channels, with associated logic, from the VistaMax frame to the console. By using two
CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables, 128 bidirectional signals can be connected simultaneously up to 100 meters away. To go beyond
this distance, the optional optical connections must be used. These connections allow a console to connect to a VistaMax
Hub card that is up to 2 km away from the console.
The RJ-45 Ethernet connector ties the console into a LAN for communications and control within a VistaMax system.
This is done through a network switch which also has all of the VistaMax frames, control panels, additional RMX
digital
consoles, BMX
digital consoles, and setup computers in the network connected to it. Each device connected to the network
switch has a unique TCP/IP address assigned during installation. Each RMX
digital console has the address: 192.168.100.22
assigned at the factory. This address MUST be changed prior to connecting the console to a VistaMax LAN. See chapter 4,
RMX
digital Server for details on changing this address. Refer to the VistaMax operating manual (75-52) for additional
configuration details.
