6.11.2 CONNECTING ONE OR MORE NTS250s TO A COMPUTER USING A UX8800
Use the UX8800’s front panel Ethernet port and the supplied Ethernet crossover cable to connect
directly to a computer’s 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps Ethernet port. A user-supplied, shorter or longer
cable may be substituted. The UX8800’s Ethernet port is auto-negotiating, meaning it will
automatically exchange information over a link about speed and duplex capabilities and negotiate
these to the highest common denominator.
CAUTION: an Ethernet crossover cable is required when connecting two Ethernet ports in
the same layer of the OSI model (Open Systems Intercommunication Reference Model). A
computer’s Ethernet Port, meaning its NIC (network interface card), and the UX8800 are both
OSI layer 3 ports. Therefore, an Ethernet crossover cable is REQUIRED when directly
connecting the UX8800 to a computer’s NIC. An Ethernet crossover cable reverses
transmit and receive pin connections between the connectors at each end of the cable.
Connect one of the U-Net ports on the UX8800’s rear panel to a U-Net port on the NTS250. If
there are more than one NTS250, connect the other U-Net port on the NTS250 to the next
NTS250, and so on. This configuration is used to rout any number of UX8800 outputs to the
NTS250s on the U-Net chain. Again, EAWPilot is used for U-Net configuration.
It is recommended that you connect the first free U-Net port to the first NTS250. A ring is created
so the audio and control signals have two paths along the network, and the integrity of the network
is maintained in the event that one NTS250 should go offline.
There is no requirement to connect Port 1 to Port 2 or vice versa. Signals are sent out both U-Net
ports bidirectionally so any port can be connected to any other port. It is recommended, however,
that the NTS250s be connected sequentially, top down or bottom up in an array.
