NOTE
- Use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal parts of the plugs are electrically connected to the STP cable shield by conductive tape or comparable means.
- Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend that:
- If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.
- If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches.
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.
- [LINK/ACT]
These indicators show the communication status of the [PRIMARY] and [SECONDARY] respectively. If the Ethernet cables are connected properly, the indicators will flash rapidly. - [1G]

Precautions for rack mounting
Operation of this device is guaranteed within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C. If you mount this unit along with other equipment in an EIA standard rack, the heat from each device will raise the temperature inside the rack, which may prevent the unit from achieving full performance. When rack mounting the unit, always observe the following requirements to avoid heat buildup:
- Be sure to leave at least 14U space (excluding the space for cable connections) around the unit.
- When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power amplifiers that tend to generate a significant amount of heat, leave a sufficient space between this unit and other equipment. Also, ensure sufficient ventilation by installing a ventilation panel in these spaces, or simply leave the open spaces uncovered.
- To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open and position it at least 10 cm from walls, ceilings or other surfaces. If the rear of the rack cannot be left open, install a commercially-available fan kit or similar forced system to secure sufficient airflow. If you have installed a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect. For more information, refer to the instruction manuals for the rack and fan kit.
