INTRODUCTION The MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge system enables the transmission of up to 32 uncompressed audio signals via wide area networks (WAN). Audio input/output is provided by the integrated 32-channel Dante™ interface, which has redundant GbE interfaces and supports AES67. The convenient Windows PC software provides management and visual monitoring of up to 10 systems.
Conventions In this manual the following conventions are used as text markers: The TIP symbol marks information which facilitates the operation of the system in its daily use. The Note symbol marks general notes to observe. The Attention symbol marks very important advice that is absolutely to observe. In case of non-observance malfunctions and even system errors are possible.
General safety requirements To keep the technically unavoidable residual risk to a minimum, it is absolutely necessary to observe the following rules: • Transport, storage, and operation of the unit must be under the permissible conditions only. • Installation, configuration, and disassembly must be carried out only by trained personal based on the respective manual.
Construction The MAGIC ACX can be controlled via the front keypad and the graphic display. Five LEDs give information about the system status and the audio transmission. On the back there are connectors for • Power cord • Earthing • 2x 100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface for control and audio transmission •...
Functionality The MAGIC ACX receives audio signals via the Dante network. A configurable number of audio channels is multiplexed into one IP stream and transmitted via Ethernet to the remote MAGIC ACX. The receiver feeds the audio channels into the local Dante network.
PUTTING THE MAGIC ACX INTO OPERATION Mounting With its dimensions of (width x height x depth) 434 mm x 44.5 mm (1U) x 270 mm the MAGIC ACX system can either be used as desktop device or mounted into a 19- inch rack.
Connection to the mains voltage MAGIC ACX must be earthed. The earthing can be carried out via the earthing screw on the back side of the unit. MAGIC ACX may only be used with the included power cable. The power cable must not be replaced by an inadequately dimensioned power cable.
Wiring The figure below shows the systems’ wiring. The system offers two Ethernet interfaces on the base board for audio transmission and control via PC software. The Ethernet interfaces P and S on the Dante module are used to connect the MAGIC ACX to the primary (P) and secondary (S) Dante network.
INTERFACES Ethernet interfaces LAN 1 / LAN 2 The LAN 1 and LAN 2 interfaces can be used for audio transmission, for system control via Windows PC management software and for integration into a network management system via SNMP.
