AC RDNET IN/OUT PLUG BOARD

INSTALLATION

The

AC RDNET IN/OUT PLUG

optional board allows the AX 8042 automixer control via

RDNET.
Refer to the RDNET CONTROL 8 manual about the complete RDNET software use and
further information.

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the blank panel on the side of the input for

the power cord

(on the AX 8042 rear panel) by

unscrewing the 4 screws with a TORX T10 screwdriver.

3. Connect the flat cable inside the AX 8042 automixer to

the AC RDNET IN/OUT PLUG board.

4. Insert the AC RDNET IN/OUT PLUG board into the AX

8042 automixer slot and fasten it with the 4 screws.

Each of the eight RDNET CONTROL 8 ports can be connected to max. 32 (daisy-chained)
compatible audio devices.
Each

RDNET CONTROL 8

port shall be connected to the

DATA INPUT

of a RDNET

device and the

DATA LINK

parallel output to the

DATA INPUT

of the next device.

In the example above, [n] is a number from 3 to 32 (max. number of audio devices
connected to a subnet).

The total CAT5 cable length of a single subnet cannot exceed 900 metres (c. 2950 feet).
