1. IEC Mains Inlet A
Standard IEC receptacle for connection of AC mains. RedNet MP8R features ‘Universal’
PSUs, enabling it to operate on any supply voltage of between 100 V and 240 V AC.
Note that initial use requires fitment of the plug retaining clips – see page 11.
2. IEC Mains Inlet B
Input connector for backup mains power source. Power supply B remains on standby but
will seamlessly take over if PSU A develops a fault or loses its mains input supply.
If an uninterruptable supply (UPS) is available, it is recommended that this is applied to input B.
3. Primary Network Port
Latching etherCON connector for the Dante network. Use standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 network
cable to connect to a local Ethernet switch to connect the RedNet MP8R to the RedNet
network. Adjacent to each network socket are LEDs which illuminate to indicate a valid
network connection plus network activity.
4. Secondary Network Port
Secondary Dante network connection where two independent Ethernet links are being used
(Redundant mode) or an additional port on an integral network switch on the primary network
(Switched mode).
5. Microphone inputs
Eight latching XLR3F connectors for mic/line input.
See page 16 for connector pinouts.
