Connection Examples – Optocore Autorouter
EXAMPLE 1
An example below shows a mix of Optocore and Digico devices connected to the central Route66-OAR. Some
devices connect directly to the Route66 SLOTs. If part of the system layout is intended to work in the ring
topology, only the first and the last link of such sub-ring can connect to the single Route66 SLOT (in this example
SLOT 7) – all devices in this sub-ring will be added to the main ring created by Route66. In the example first 3
Router SLOTs provide connectivity for the remote device/devices. Whenever the external mobile device is
disconnected or moved to a different location, Route66 will recognize it and automatically close the loop with all
active devices without leaving any open links – keeping the redundancy.
In this particular example remote stagebox is connected to Wall Box #1, which connects to SLOT 3 (ports 5,6).
SLOTs 1 and 2 are open (no active device connected). All fixed devices are connected to SLOT 5 (ports 9,10),
SLOT 6 (ports 11,12) and SLOT 8 (ports 15,16). Additionally a small sub-ring is connected to SLOT 7 (ports
13,14).
Route66-OAR will make the following cross-points: 6 -> 9, 10 -> 11, 12 -> 13, 14 -> 15, 16 -> 5.
If stagebox is moved to Wall Box #3, which connects to SLOT 1, the patching in Route66-OAR will change
automatically to: 2 -> 9, 10 -> 11, 12 -> 13, 14 -> 15, 16 -> 1.
