APPENDIX D: Ravenna (ZMAN) Setup
Introduction
Installing the iVAM1-12G into an existing and functioning Ravenna network using
the Merging ZMAN Card is virtually plug and play. The iAM rear panel AoIP jack
supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet devices in Ravenna Audio over IP network
configurations.
iVAM1-12G channel source selections are made by choosing Input Type ‘ AoIP ’ in
the Configuration-Configure Presets page regardless of which AoIP option is
installed.
Note:
In addition to the iVAM1-12G configuration, the Merging ZMAN Card needs to
be configured using its own configuration tool. The menus in this configuration tool
are shown in this Appendix.
