Input / Output Connectors CobraNet: Primary (Ethernet): This RJ-45 connector is used for connecting the Ethernet network cable (CAT5) to the CobraNet board. Secondary (Ethernet): This RJ-45 connector is used for creating a redundant CobraNet network. If the primary network fails, the secondary network automatically takes over to insure the audio program continues uninterrupted. -

Inputs: Line In: This is a balanced analog input that is used for bypassing the CobraNet system and inserting an analog audio signal directly into the self-powered loudspeaker. If CobraNet is functioning, this signal will be summed with the CobraNet signal being received on Ch 1. In the CobraNet Breakout Box, this connector has no function. -

IP address in the range specified. Updating firmware: If it is required to update the firmware to the CobraNet unit, this is accomplished by using the CobraNet Discovery program. To update the firmware, use the following procedure. - Page 8 The main window of the CobraNet Discovery program will display all the CobraNet devices located on the CobraNet network. Here you will see the MAC address and the IP address that has been assigned to each device. By using this window, you will now be able to see the IP address for any individual device.

IP address will be reassigned to avoid having two units with the same IP address. It’s best to always view the CobraNet Discovery program first in order to obtain the current IP address for a particular unit. - Page 10 The CobraNet system uses a fixed amount of delay (latency) throughout the system. The standard CobraNet system uses a delay of 5 1/3msec. If less delay is required, you have the ability to select a lower latency setting. Selecting lower latency settings will reduce the channel count.
- Page 11 CobraNet board. Input Selection Each CobraNet unit has the ability to transmit 32 different channels of audio (4 transmitters with 8 channels each = 32). Of these 32 possible channels, the unit is capable of outputting 2 of these channels simultaneously.

Page 12: R-Control With Cobranet
Normally the R-Control network uses a twisted pair of wires for the network connections. R-Control can be sent down the CobraNet CAT5 cable by using the unused pairs of wires on the CAT5 cable. The R-Control and CobraNet Combiner Box (RC-CAT5BOX) can be used for accomplishing this.
