Four external RJ-45 jacks on the rear panel couple the optional Dual Selector or Dual Router panels to a
16x2 MicroRouter or to a VistaMax network switch port using customer-supplied CAT-5 cabling.
Each DSP card has a common set of assignment buttons and indicator LEDs to assign these parameters for
each A and B source on the eight channels associated with that DSP card:
●
Input selection (Analog, Digital, or Network)
●
Mode selection (Stereo, Left, Right, or Mono Sum)
●
Signal function (Line Input, CR Mic, CR Mic as a Talk Source, Studio Mic, or Telco Input)
●
Whether the logic I/O is active
●
Input gain trims for both analog and digital inputs
●
Network source assignment
●
Additional logic parameter settings
Power Supply
Two types of power supplies are used with NetWave consoles. Each type has a single 48-volt DC output on a
keyed connector and uses a detachable IEC AC cord for 110 VAC/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz systems.
An in-line supply (PRE99-1206) is standard on the NetWave-8 and NetWave-16 consoles. It has a captive six
foot DC cable to allow the supply to sit below the console within the cabinetry. This supply is not
recommended for use on a NetWave-24 console.
NetWave-24 consoles ship with a rackmount Universal 48-volt DC Supply (PRE99-1205), which is also used
on VistaMax card frames and RMXdigital consoles. A 15-foot detachable DC cable (PRE90-1858-1) connects
this supply to the console.
One supply comes standard with each console. A second matching redundant supply can be connected to a
NetWave console by installing the optional PRE90-1995 Power Coupler.
Note: When adding a PRE99-1205 supply for redundant powering, order a PRE99-1205-1 supply,
since it includes the PRE90-1858-1 15-foot DC cable).
The Universal 48-volt DC Supply has a recessed front panel on/off switch and a green LED to indicate the
48-volt output is good. The PRE99-1206 in-line supply has a green LED on the top of its case to indicate its
48-volt output is good. It does not have a power switch. Each supply is designed for continuous 24/7
operation and is fully regulated and protected against excessive current by internal fuses and electronic
safeguards.
VistaMax Link
The RJ-45 VistaMax Link (Figure 1-9) connector, adjacent to the DC input connector on the rear panel, links
the NetWave console to a VistaMax, Envoy, or VMConnect Hub card, using a crossover CAT-5e or CAT-6
cable. You must install a Link or Link Plus Activation Kit to use the Link connector.
