Page 9: About Rocknet
Auto-addressing RockNet 300 works auto-addressing. As soon as the devices are powered-up and the Network Sections are connected via CA T.5 (from Link Output to Link Input of the neighbour device) the c onnected devices start communicating with each other. -
Page 10: Network Interface And Transmission Protocol
Network Interface and Transmission Protocol RockNet is NOT based on Ethernet even though it uses CA T.5 cables. The RockNet transport protocol is proprietary and regular Ethernet products can NOT be implement ed in a RockNet audio net work. No particular IT or comput er networking know-how is needed to setup and operate RockNet. The RockNet RN.300 Net work Interfac e incorporates two Media Numerics’... -
