ADX-8000 Front Panel View DESCRIPTION The ADX-8000 is a dual (redundant) power supply unit and twelve port Ethernet switch, intended for use with ADX-120 and ADX-140 networked audio devices. It is designed to be placed in announce booths or similar applications to provide power and fiber connectivity for ADX-series remote devices.
Interface Unit, and the ADX-8000 Power Supply / Switch. The mobile unit end of the system consists of an ADX-2400 base unit and a generic ethernet switch or media converter. (An ADX-8000 could be used for this purpose also if desired) The network connections are very simple and straight-forward.
FIBER PORTS 1-4 There are four ST connectors which are single-mode, bi-directional gigabit ethernet fiber ports. These panel-mounted ST connectors are connected internally to industry-standard SFP modules. Since the ports are bi-directional, a fiber link requires only a single strand of fiber. IMPORTANT NOTE Since the SFP modules are bi-directional they transmit on one wavelength and receive on a different wavelength.

FIBER TRUNKING AND REDUNDANT (A/B) FIBER OPERATION There are two 'TRUNKING' leds, and two pushbutton switches immediately to the left of the 'FIBER' status leds. These indicate and enable/disable trunking or 'link aggregation' for the fiber port 1/2 pair and the port 3/4 pair. The trunking modes are indicated by the state of the trunking LED associated with a pair of fiber ports (1/2 or 3/4).

This is a special mode that does NOT use link aggregation, but supports automatic switching of fiber paths at the ADX-8000 should the primary path fail. It does not require that the switch on the other end support trunking, so it can be an unmanaged switch or even two separate switches.

(Note that the ADX-140s also have an AC power input. Either or both may be used). The voltage is supplied by dual redundant high-efficiency power supplies. Only a single CAT5 (or Cat5E or Cat6) cable is required between the ADX-8000 and each ADX-120 or ADX-140.
STATUS LEDS There are four status leds on the front panel PS 1 GREEN if power supply 1 is operating properly FLASHING RED if power supply 1 output is out of limits PS 2 GREEN if power supply 2 is operating properly FLASHING RED if power supply 2 output is out of limits TEMP GREEN if internal temperatures are within limits...
