connections.

You may apply AES3 digital audio to the left I/O connectors
if dip switch #1 (Input) and #2 (output)
are up.
Audio inputs should be applied
and levels checked with
dip switch #4 down. If the
audio indicators are showing
red, it indicates the level is
approaching or reaching
clipping stage. It is OK for audio levels to reach the yellow
stage often.
The Ethernet connector is a standard 1000baseT.
A normal patch cord, such as used for a computer, should
be connected here.
