We want you to know that if you ever have a question or concern with a PESA product, we have a team of engineers, technicians and customer service professionals available 24/7 every day of the year to help resolve the issue.
This User Guide provides instructions for installation and operation of the MADI Adapter Module for use with the Cheetah DRS Series Audio Routing Switchers built by PESA Switching Systems, Inc. It is the responsibility of all personnel involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment to know all the applicable safety regulations for the areas they will be working in.
Fiber optic module connectors are supplied for future product development and implementation. PESA’s MADI adapter is available as an input device or an output device. The input adapter receives the MADI compliant signal and processes the data into a data stream compliant with the PESA proprietary Packet Audio Stream (PAS) bus protocol which can interface directly with the DRS Data Exchange Engine.
MADI compliant devices. BNC connectors for coaxial cable are provided for each MADI bus connection. Each output adapter connects to the DRS DXE just as a standard DRS output frame would using CAT5E cable. Proprietary Information of PESA...
Input Power Connectors There are two Input Power Connectors, labeled A and B, on each module and are the connection point(s) for external power. PESA’s MADI adapter modules use a “wall wart” type power supply. The output connector from the power supply may be attached to either of the power connectors (A or B) in a non-power-redundant system.
Figure 2-5 illustrates a basic system using MADI adapters for both input and output data streams. These examples illustrate that the MADI adapter is used just like an input or output frame in a DRS system. MADI adapters will not function in systems with redundant DXE frames.

The preceding examples illustrate typical hook-up of a MADI Adapter Module into various DRS configurations. Additional examples, including redundant PAS bus and expanded I.O, multiple DXE installations are provided in the DRS technical manual. Refer to Chapter 2 of the DRS manual for further configuration examples. Proprietary Information of PESA...

If MADI modules are mounted in the optional rack frame, the power sled supplied with the frame is used to power all installed MADI modules. Supply power to the rack mount supply, and connect a power output from the common supply to each of the MADI modules installed in the rack. Proprietary Information of PESA...
ONTROL YSTEM PESA’s MADI adapter operates as a component of the DRS audio routing system; there are no separate operating controls for the MADI module. When incorporating MADI adapters into a DRS router, each MADI module is essentially treated as any other DRS audio frame. Please refer to the Technical Manual supplied with your DRS audio router system for complete information on configuration and set- up of a DRS installation.
The user will need clear understanding of the concepts of switching levels, components, a reentry path, tie-lines, salvos, hardware strobes, etc. in order to make use of the following discussions. Proprietary Information of PESA...
There are no operating controls for the MADI module; however, there are front panel indicator lights which should be verified for proper operation. An illustration of the MADI front panel and the status indicators is shown in Figure 4-2. Proprietary Information of PESA...
There are four DRS Port indicators – two for each PAS Bus connection. Note that each port has an indicator labeled ACT (active) and LNK (link). These indicate Ethernet bus activity on each active (connected) port. Both indicators should intermittently flash during normal system operation. Proprietary Information of PESA...
