10 : 2.KAESOP repeater mode
TheIn the Repeater mode, any AES3 stream received on
PORT 1 will be repeated on PORT 2 and vice-versa: if the
AES3 stream is received on PORT 2 it will be repeated on
PORT 1.
The Repeater mode is the default device mode setting.
This applies to both AES3-A stream and AES-B stream
independently. If an AES3 stream (A or B) is present as input
at both RJ45 ports (this can happen when a ring network
topology is used), the internal AESOP repeater feeds only
one of the two identical streams keeping the second stream
in standby.
If for some reason the first stream fails the second
stream is used as a backup audio source.

For consistency, primary ports are placed in the rear of the
amp, while secondary ports are at the front. Notice that AES3
streams are monodirectional, while data stream is bidirectional.
