Rear Panel Connections
Fig 5-4: The RB-FS42 Rear Panel
The back panel consists of 18 x 25 way D-Type sockets, an Ethernet port and
power inlets.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is a standard RJ-45 connector on the rear panel. It is a
10/100Mbps link and has green and amber indicators for link status and
speed selection. The unit can be controlled remotely over the Ethernet
connection using the built-in webserver. By default the unit is configured for
dynamic addressing using DHCP.
The connections for the RJ45 connector are as follows:

AC Power Input
The AC power is applied via a standard three-pin IEC male socket. Mains
voltages between 85V and 264V AC and frequencies between 47 and 63Hz
are accepted without adjustment.
A 2A, 5 x 20mm SB fuse is used. The Earth pin MUST be connected to
ensure safety.
DC Power Input
The DC power is applied via a locking 2.5mm power socket 1 x 12V 2A DC
supply,
Analogue, AES/EBU Digital & RS232 Input & Outputs
The top row of D-Types take the input signals and from left to right
correspond to; Analogue Channels 1 – 4, Digital Channels 1 – 4 and Standby
Channels 1 and 2 for each signal type.
The first four bottom D-Types from left to right supply the output signals for
the corresponding inputs above them.
See the ‘D-Type Connection Details’ section for specific connection details
for each connector.
