EtherSound technology. They allow to easily and economically insert into an EtherSound network or extract two digital audio channels (2 + 2 in the case of ES220) from it, using standard Ethernet components (CAT5 cables and switches). ES220 converts two analog audio signals into two EtherSound...

GPIO connector Audio connectors On ES220, a Sub-D 15 connector is used to input two balanced analog signals and to output two balanced analog signals. On ES220-L, only one of these two functions is accessible depending on the configuration selected (for connector pinout see appendix C).
Four decimal rotary switches on the EtherSound board inside the device determine whether the assignment of the EtherSound channels to the inputs or outputs of ES220(-L) is done locally or remotely by configuration software. (to modify this setting, see appendix B).
To disconnect the cable from the device, press the latch, then withdraw the cable while maintaining the latch pushed. If you use an ES220(-L) as Primary Master, the “IN” port may be connected to a control computer for system configuration (if this connection is not established through a switch, a crossover cable is required!).
Connecting a computer to manage the EtherSound network To connect a PC directly to an ES220(-L), it must be equipped with a network card. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the network card to the “IN” port of the Primary Master.
ES220 and ES220-L may also be managed through configuration software edited by Digigram development partners. To uninstall the software go to Add/Remove programs in the Windows Control Panel. Firmware update Digigram may decide to publish firmware updates. It may then become necessary to upgrade your devices.

End of bi- IN/OUT input level directional selection Do not modify! (ES220 loop (ES220-L only) uniquement) The jumpers marked show the default positions for the normal mode of operation; this adjustment MUST NOT be modified. These jumpers are reserved for maintenance purposes.
The other channel is assigned subsequently (In our example: 25). The factory preset is 90, thus the control is done remotely by software. Note: On ES220-L, only one pair of rotary switches is active, depending on the selected configuration: inputs OR outputs. Light Emitting Diode (3) This red LED indicates whether the EtherSound channel selection is done manually by hardware (LED off) or remotely by software (LED on).
APPENDIX C: AUDIO CONNECTOR On ES220, a Sub-D 15 connector is used to input two balanced analog signals and to output two balanced analog signals. On ES220-L, only one of these two functions is accessible depending on the configuration selected (for connector pinout see appendix D).
Ethernet Audio Bridges APPENDIX D: GPIO CONNECTOR ES220 and ES220-L have four TTL 5 V compatible GPIs and four open collector GPOs. GPIs allow defining statuses read by the EtherSound configuration software, GPOs can be used by the EtherSound configuration software for remote control of external devices.

Tools required: • a #1 Pozidriv screwdriver • an ESD-preventive wrist strap • a small flat blade screwdriver Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the board.
Audio extraction ("downstream/upstream") With this jumper ON, the ES220 (or ES220-L in mode “OUT”) plays back the two channels extracted from the ascending stream; if this jumper is removed, the two channels are extracted from the descending stream. This jumper is only taken into account if the rotary switches are positioned...
10 dBV (nominal level called “Consumer”) or +4 dBu (“Professional”). Default setting is +4 dBu for all inputs. The settings described above relate to ES220 and ES220-L in mode “IN” (Master), since they act upon the nominal input level. Having located the pair to modify in the overview (annexe A), Set the jumpers according to the above illustrations to match the requirements of your system.
