Building Ring Architecture
EtherSound ES100 technology allows a new kind of network architecture that was forbidden in the previous versions of
EtherSound, i.e. the ring architecture. This is a way to secure a network by adding a cable redundancy. Indeed, this solution
ensure that the network will continue to work even if one (and only one) cable is defective, whatever the position of the cable
inside the network.
To build ring architecture with an AVM500-ES, you will need to use the dedicated pair of ports {Ain/Aout} (Fig. 25). To do so,
it is mandatory to activate port {Aout} using ES-Monitor control page, that means dissociate all other {B, C, D, E} ports. As
{Ain} and {Aout} will be used by the ring, you will need to connect the control PC to the port {3
rd
}.

This solution brings a redundant network of 64 audio channels that can be shared with the four other networks. In order to
configure your network as a ring redundant network, please refer to ES-Monitor software user’s manual.
Below is an example of ring architecture between four AVM500-ES. Each 3
rd
port is connected to the control PC via a regular
Ethernet switch. Doing so, all devices are remotely controllable. Thanks to the digital audio matrix of each AVM500-ES, each
device can share its audio channels with every other device in the whole network. Also, the system will continue to work
perfectly even if a red cable (but only one) is defective.
