Installing Extender Frames
The control surface main frame includes two Ethernet extension ports. These can be used to connect Extender
frames to the console's internal network (ETHERNET A).
If more Extender connections are required, then a Fast Ethernet switch must be installed. If the Extender
frames have been delivered with the console, then a suitable switch will be supplied. If you are adding
Extenders to an existing console, then you will need to purchase a switch before continuing. For advice, please
contact your local Lawo representative or email
.
Installation
Extender frames should be mounted, powered and grounded in the same manner as the main frame.
To make the connections, use a straight (1:1) network cable, of the type CAT 5e with RJ45 connectors. The
maximum cable length = 80m.
Wiring (up to two Extender Frames)
1.
Connect one of the
ETH Extension
ports (on the main frame) to the
ETH Extension
port (on the
Extender).
On the main frame, take care to connect an
ETH Extension
port, and not a
ROUTER
or
MGMT
port.

2.
Repeat, using the spare port, to connect a second Extender.
Wiring (more than two Extender Frames)
1.
Connect one of the
ETH Extension
ports (on the main frame) to a Fast Ethernet switch (described
above).
2.
From the switch, connect each of your Extender frames.
Setting the Bayserver Address
If you are adding a new extender, then you will need to adjust the Bayserver "
" to determine the
channel bay index of the frame (i.e. whether it controls faders 1-16, 17-32, etc).
