A-Net Base Slot
Since the capacity of the Pro64 network could be as high as 64 A‑Net Slots,
Pro64 hardware I/O devices need a way of routing a selected hardware
channel to a desired network Slot. The 6416Y2 uses DIP switch block SW9
to select a base Slot range, in groups of 16 channels. There is no Slot display.
See page 39 for more info on A‑Net Slot setup.
For Pro64 hardware I/O devices, the upper left corner of the front panel
contains a dedicated A‑Net Slot display. Its associated inc/dec buttons are
used to select a range of Slots that the hardware device will address.
The A-Net Slot display and its inc/dec buttons are used to set the base Slot
for a Pro64 I/O module. An input module is shown here.
The following table shows the channel‑to‑Slot correlation for 16‑channel
Pro64 Series modules in a network running at the 48kHz sample rate. The
numbers in the Base Slot column will appear in the A‑Net Slot display of all
I/O modules (the 6416Y2 has no Slot display).

The use of Slot assignments allows for easy reconfiguration of audio
networks and sharing of hardware I/O resources and data without physical
re‑patching.
