TrunkLinks
When console cores are connected
together they can share the I/O which is
connected to each others’ router cards,
as with all SFP connections to the router
card front ports the bandwidth limit of this
connection is 512. Connections between
cores potentially carry more traffic than
core to I/O box connections, and as such
should always be made to main router
card ports, not to expansion card ports.
‘Trunk Links’ can be added which are
extra connections between the two cores’
router cards which each increase the
bandwidth by 512. e.g. one link plus one
‘trunk link’ equals a bandwidth of 1024.
Up to three ‘trunk links’ can be added
equating in total to a bandwidth of 2048.
Trunk links should only be fitted if the
network is configured appropriately.
Please contact Calrec support (support@
calrec.com), or your regional Calrec
distributor for guidance on trunk link
configuration.
Capacity
Each individual front panel router/
expansion port is capable of passing
512 channels of audio inputs and 512
channels of audio outputs as long as the
total number being used per card does
not exceed the maximum available for the
card slot. (Note, GPIO connections are
also counted in this allocation)
With router capacity at this scale, it is not
easy to reach these limitations unless
doing so intentionally for test purposes
using high density I/O on a large multi-
console network. If the number of routes
made reaches the maximum for a router
card slot, or individual front panel router
port, further routes cannot be made via
that slot/port without removing some of
the existing ones. Warning messages are
generated when this is the case.
FixedFormatI/Oboxbandwidth
The fixed format I/O box destination count
is dependent on the number of I/O cards
within a given box. Each I/O card within
a box is allocated 32 destinations, for
example, a 12/4 analog I/O box has one
card and so is allocated 32 destinations,
whereas a MADI box is considered to
have two cards for each MADI port. A
breakdown is given in the table below.

ModularI/OBoxBandwidth
The maximum bandwidth of any port on a
router is 512 signals, so 512 sources and
destinations is the maximum count that
any modular I/O box should be populated
with (20 card slots are available). The
table below shows the source and
destination allocation for each modular
I/O card type.
