MRK960 dual true diversity receiver
Digital audio Ethersound
©
The Ethersound option on the MRK960 adds the capability of a connection beetween the MRK960 and an
Ethersound audio distribution system. This option adds two RJ45 connectors for the ethernet cables, one is
the input and the other is the output of the Ethersound interface.
Link Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s
The Ethernet interface is used to connect an MRK960 to an host PC for remote monitoring. The "WISYCOM
MANAGER" is the PC software for the complete remote monitoring and managing several MRK960 also con-
nected thru an USB cascade.
WISYCOM MANAGER is able to find a configure network parameter of a MRK960 in ethernet connection with-
out knowing its IP address (this is done thru a broadcast discovery). Near the ethernet connector there are
two led lamps, one for the connection check and one for the data monitoring.
A receiver connected to a PC could be an subnet controller for other receivers if the other receivers are con-
nected in a chain with USB cables as shown on the picture "4 rack USB CASCADE".
USB connection
The MRK960 comes with an USB 1.1 interface that has priority over ethernet connection (in case of USB port
connected to a PC, the ethernet port is disable). Near the USB connector there is another connector named
LINK. This connector could be connected to the USB port of the next MRK960 with an USB-A to USB-B cable
to build a chain of receivers. The maximum number of receivers in a chain is four. The receiver with the USB
connector free is the subnet controller receiver (the one in the upper position on the picture). It must be con-
nected to a PC by means of the USB port or by means of an ethernet connection. Once connected, start the
WISYCOM MANAGER software to manage the array of receivers (more details on software manual).
