3.1 INTERFACING TO ONE OR MORE ADAT'S

The AI-2 is used to connect one or more ADATs to a control
system. The basic ADAT connection is shown here. When the AI-2
is powered on it takes control of the ADAT chain and automatically
assigns machine IDs to the connected ADATs. Although by itself
the AI-2 cannot control the ADAT chain, if a reference source is
connected to the AI-2, when the ADAT transports are put into play
locally, the speed of the transports will be resolved to the selected
reference by the AI-2.
Connect a standard Alesis ADAT interconnect cable between the
AI-2 9-pin SYNC OUT connector and the SYNC IN connector of the
"master", or first, ADAT. Connect additional ADATs, SYNC OUT to
SYNC IN as described in the ADAT reference manual.

When all the connections have been made, and the units powered
on, the BRC/ADAT LED on the front panel of the AI-2 should be
illuminated, to indicate that valid communication is occurring
between the AI-2 and the ADAT units. If the LED does not light (no
communications) or is flashing (communication taking place, but
with errors) then recheck the cable connections.
