RJ-‐45 BLU link Input
BLU link digital audio forms a redundant loop of digital audio. The link can fail in either direction, and the
other direction will take over. On the rear panel of the DAX-‐16, the top connector (marked Digital Input
A) is the IN port. The bottom connector is the OUT port. The IN port should be connected to the OUT
port of the previous device in the BLU link loop. The OUT port should be connected to the IN port of the
next device in the BLU link loop. CAT5 or CAT 6 cable should be used.

System Restore
The DAX-‐16 has a restore button on the front panel. It can be pressed with an unfolded paper clip. The
button serves two purposes:
a)
P32 Firmware Restore – Hold the button down with the power off. Continue holding it for
five seconds after the power is turned back on. The power LED will flicker as the factory
firmware is restored to the P32 processor. A firmware restore may be required if a P32
firmware update fails. Failure of a P24 firmware update does not require use of the restore
button.
b)
Load Config from SD Card – If the button is pressed momentarily after the system has
booted (the signal presence LEDs have stopped flashing), configuration information will be
read from the SD card. This makes it easy to transfer configuration information from one
unit to another.
