Ethernet
The two Ethernet control connections are normally directly linked to the two
Ethernet switches of the desk.
A-Link
There are 4 A-Link ports to bring audio in-, as well as out of the
Compact
Infinity Core
. A-Link is a “super-fast” optical interface comprising a duplex
fibre pair of connections capable of carrying up to 1536 channels of 24 bit
audio. All 4 interfaces are configured to provide 1536 mono channels of
inputs and 1536 mono channels of outputs (
@48 kHz
).
SFP
The A-Link interface uses SFP modules as connectors. SFP stands for Small
Form-factor Pluggable. These are small modules that plug into the carrier on
the card and are available in various optical frequencies and powers accord-
ing to transmission distance, fibre type and data load. They use “LC” fibre
connectors. Fitted as standard are 4.25Gb/s 850nm Multimode SFPs, this will
allow distances of up to 150m with
50μm/125μm
fibre between units. For
longer distances, Single mode (9μm) types should be used.
Multi-mode SFP Part No. 5042823
Single-mode SFP Part No. 5042824
USB
USB ports can be used to connect USB memory sticks that contain SW images
to upgrade the SW of the core. Then, also a USB keyboard can be connected
to a USB port.
VGA
The VGA port is also used for servicing only - a VGA screen can be connected
