    Moreover, Plixus is conceived with a self-healing topology: data will always travel the shortest route and in the case of an error, Plixus will self-correct and reroute data via the fastest available pathway. Ultimately, it offers all parties peace of mind with Plixus’ rock-solid reliability.

    8. LAN port Power Supply The Plixus AE-R does not have an internal power supply. By default one external power supply of 220 W is delivered together with the engine. You can use a second power supply for redundancy. However for larger setups you need the additional power to power the units, preventing you to use the second power supply for redundancy.

  • Page 28: Plixus Power Supply

    The Plixus MME has an internal power supply of 48 V/10 A (480 W). However the Plixus AE-R does not. By default you receive one Plixus power supply with the AE-R. When the internal power supply of the MME or the external power supply of the AE-R is insufficient, a separate power supply is necessary.

  • Page 29: Plixus Next

    PLIXUS NEXT Plixus NEXT is the next generation of Plixus network extenders which have the same functionality and connectivity, but additionally offer the option to configure (via DIP switches) a delayed power up of the conference extension ports (see DIP switch table below).

  • Page 31: Redundancy

    In Plixus it is possible to insert a type of fail-safe mechanism by creating redundancy. You can get redundancy by inserting loops in your network. When there is a loop, Plixus can still access the device using a different route when a cable or a device in one side of the loop breaks.

  • Page 41: Plixus Component Properties

    PLIXUS COMPONENT PROPERTIES It is not possible to combine all Plixus components on the same branch because some units are powered over the Plixus cable, while others require external power. In addition there is a difference in network speed for audio-only devices versus multimedia devices. As a consequence, three different categories of devices are possible that you cannot mix on the same branch.

    Introduction The Plixus system always works with seats. A seat is a conceptual name for a unit or a group of units which are combined on that seat. By default this is a one-to-one mapping, so every unit has one seat. However, there can be more advanced cases where units are manually combined on a seat.

  • Page 83: How To Initialize Units

    This means that seat one is assigned to the first unit at port one of the Plixus engine. For network extenders connected to the Plixus port, seats will also start with port one of the network extender. The system automatically discovers the redundant loops.
