Powering an AVM500-ES for the first time
6.3 Why using Star Architecture instead of basic Dasy-Chain?
For a simple network as described previously, AVM500-ES seems to be largely under-used. Indeed, regarding the few
channels used, we could have built a standard Daisy-Chain network (Fig. 11).

If this kind of architecture would have perfectly worked, it has also a big drawback:
-
if the cable between NAI48-ES and DME4io fails,
-
if the NAI48-ES fails or is switched-off,
-
if the DME4io fails or is switched-off,
in all of theses cases, audio channels will never reach the NXAmp, and diffusion will be lost.
Big advantage of the star architecture is to bypass this issue. Indeed, if a branch of the star fails, the rest of the network
continue to work. For example, if DME4io fails, you will only loose its channels, but NAI48-ES channels and AVY16-ES100
channels can still be played on the NXAmp. Of course this is the same idea for all other branches of the network.
