Managing SoundStructure Systems

This chapter describes the network and control aspects of SoundStructure systems including managing the

device over IP and configuring the RS-232 port.

SoundStructure devices have a LAN interface and RS-232 port that may be used to configure, control, and

update the system software. This section describes both the LAN and RS-232 interfaces.

When multiple devices are linked over OBAM, only one Ethernet interface or RS-232 port is required to be

used, although any of the ports may be used.

SoundStructure devices include a rear-panel LAN interface, shown in the following figure, that supports

10/100 Mbps communication with Auto-MDIX (medium dependent interface crossover) capability.

Auto-MDIX enables the use of either a standard CAT5e cable or cross-over cable to connect to an Ethernet

network. The SoundStructure device will detect either connection and work properly.
