About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for the Extron
Electronics AXI 02 AT audio expansion interface. In this guide, the terms "AXI device,"
"device," and "AXI" are all used to refer to the AXI 02 AT interchangeably.

About the AXI 02 AT

The AXI 02 AT audio expansion interface is a Dante-to-analog converter in a 1U high,
eighth-rack width zip-clip enclosure. The AXI 02 AT is a Dante input, analog output interface
with an additional S/PIDF digital output. Analog outputs accept 3.5 mm captive screw
connectors. The RJ-45 PoE port on the front panel of the device provides two Dante
receiver channels and powers the device. Output attenuation and device settings are
configured with Extron DSP Configurator Software or SIS commands through DataViewer
or other control software. The AXI advertises itself on the Dante network and uses the
Dante Controller software for routing, device naming, channel naming, transmission latency,
sample rate, and IP communication settings.
NOTE: The AXI 02 AT may also be powered with an external power injector.
