Example #3 - Single Wire Interface:
Here all QSControl and CobraNet traffic shares the same single CAT-5 cable between the RAVE 520az and an unmanaged Ethernet
switch. The QSControl.net system manages traffic flow efficiently and reliably so that all audio and control data is delivered to its
appropriate destination anywhere on the network. This configuration works well when CobraNet audio deliveries are point to point.
Though the example shows only one RAVE 520az and one “audio destination” product (such as the BASIS 922az) as many devices may
be connected as there are available switch ports. All RAVE/BASIS units will be able to communicate simultaneously with the computer.
All will have CobraNet audio output capability, with the exception of source-only devices like the 520az. Switches can be connected to
other switches to build larger networks; all of the normal networking principles apply. (Note: there must be at least two CobraNet
devices online (one source and one destination) for any data to come out of the CobraNet port.).
