OTHER REDNET SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The RedNet hardware range includes various types of I/O interface and PCIe/ PCIeR digital audio
interface cards which are installed in the system's host computer or in a chassis. All the I/O units
can be considered as "Break-Out" (and/or "Break-In") boxes to/from the network, and all are built
in mains-powered, 19" rackmount housings, unless otherwise stated. There are also three software
items, RedNet Control (see below), Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard.

USING REDNET CONTROL

RedNet Control will reflect the status of the RedNet units present in the system, presenting an
image representing each hardware unit.
The illustration above shows a RedNet AM2 with Mute active and with signal present on the right
channel. It has both PoE and DC power supplies available, a locked network connection and is
operating as the network master.
PoE power input – Illuminates if DC power is being received via the Ethernet cable.
DC supply power input – Illuminates if power is being received from the external DC supply.
Locked – Unit is successfully locked to the network (changes to the red cross if not locked).
Network Master – Illuminated indicating that this unit is the network master.

Reverse ID

A Reverse ID request from a RedNet AM2 unit will flash the black background in the device GUI.

Signal Metering

Both audio channels have a virtual signal level meter.
