ROUTING
A RAVE network routes audio sig-
nals in groups or groups of 8 chan-
nels, as the group diagram of a
sample RAVE network illustrates
at right. Behind the removable
panel on the face of a RAVE unit
are two pairs of hexadecimal
switches (see the illustration below) for
assigning network addresses to the groups.
The left two switches assign the network
address for the left group, which would be
channels 1 through 8 on a RAVE 80, 81, 160,
or 161, or the transmitting channels (1
through 8) of a RAVE 88 or 188. Similarly,
the right pair of switches assign the network address for the
group of channels on the right, i.e., channels 9 through 16 on
a RAVE 80, 81, 160, or 161, or the receiving channels (1 through
8) of a RAVE 88 or 188.
To make a receiving group of a RAVE unit receive a group of
audio channels from a transmitting unit, set the receiving
group’s switches to the same settings as the transmitting
group.
•
For transmission and reception, there are eight possible network channel numbers, from 01 to 08 . For
reception of non-RAVE CobraNet data, there are an additional 247 possible network channel numbers,
from 09 to FF .
•
Setting the switches to 00 shuts off the group, telling it to do no network transmission or reception.
A typical RAVE network.
One good way to see how the channels work is to have
the RAVE network operating, and have one or more
RAVE units transmitting (even if you don’t have any
audio signals) on any channel(s) from 01 to 08. On a
receiving unit attached to the network, flip through
the channels 01 through 08. As you hit the channels
that are being transmitted, you’ll see that the signal
intensity LEDs glow (dimly, if there’s little or no audio
signal, or brightly, if the audio signal levels are high
enough), and are dark whenever you’re dialed in to
a vacant channel.
