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 10/100baseT.
A normal patch cord, such as used for a computer,
should be connected here.
