SERVICING and TROUBLE SHOOTING (Continued)
Gated or Chopped Audio
The Analog 1 input is receiving a signal, but some other input has been selected in the RHAON Connect tab. As a trouble shooting aid, the
Analog 1 input will always pass audio if the signal exceeds a threshold level even if some other input is selected. The solution is to select
Analog 1 as the input or disconnect the analog 1 input signal line.
Distorted CobraNet Audio
The chances are that this is an Ethernet network wiring problem. See page 50 for details

remembering, of course! Just as the letter to Aunt Gertrude includes a “To” and “From” address, so does a packet. The switch remembers

Ethernet Switches
Two of the main distinguishing characteristics between switches are speed and management. The two main speed standards that

connections are Fast Ethernet, either speed may be used as higher speed switches are backwards compatible with those of lower speeds.
The advantage to using Gigabit switches with a RHAON network is that while the individual connections are 100Base-T, the switching

takes packets in and sends them where they need to go. A managed switch, however, allows you much more control. With a managed
switch, one can designate subsets of ports as separate networks, control which types of packets are allowed in or out of certain ports,

for larger or more complex setups, a managed switch becomes critical, though a decent level of networking expertise is required for proper
setup.
