2.4.4 External Systems Slot Interface
The equipment has a slot where the ETX-1 module can be integrated. This module allows
connection to NEO-Extension units, the control, monitoring and configuration through the data
network, the reception of audio sources from the data network and the integration with third-
party systems. The ETX-1 module is delivered as part of the equipment.

a)
System Connection: Port X
The X port allows the connection of an external Ethernet network that can be used for
control, monitoring and configuration and the reception of audio over the data network. It
is possible to configure this port to be disabled during emergency mode, therefore
enhancing the security of the internal network.
b)
System Connection: Ports A and B
The equipment has two ports for connecting other systems and
NEO-Extension units. The behavior of these ports can be
configured by a dip-switch as indicated in section (e). The
default mode will be position 01, where A will be the main
Flexnet connection and B the redundant Flexnet connection. In
case of failure in port A, the system will automatically switch to
port B.
The connection is made using standard CAT5 Ethernet network cable RJ-45 T568B (the
connection cable is supplied with the equipment).
