Fiber Optic

Fiber Optic is similar to twisted pair but does not conduct electricity. It is used in situations
where a network may suffer from environmental conditions (e.g. lightning), such as in LAN
connections between buildings. Fiber optic is also very valuable where electronic emissions
or electro-magnetic interferences may have an impact on the network, e.g. on particular
factory floors. Furthermore, fiber optic cables and Ethernet standard allow for segments up
to two km(1.24mi) long (cf. thin coaxial • 185m(607ft), UTP • 100m(328ft)) and thus
permit to connect remote nodes and buildings that otherwise would not be accessible.
To use Fiber Optic cable in EtherSound networks, Media Converters or dedicated
Ethersound™ devices such as AVAVRed-ES100/FoNeutrik (EtherSound Redundant link with
2 multimode optical OptiCon Neutrik connectors) must be used.

Installation inside the NXAMP

To install the NXES104 card inside an NXAMP Powered TDcontroller, first remove the two
screws on each side of the NX-DLFT card on the rear of the amplifier. Keep these screws as
they will be used with the NXES104 card. Use a small screwdriver to slightly separate the
card from the NXAMP chassis, and remove it.
Slide the NXES104 board inside the rails, and push it firmly inside the NXAMP. Then put the
two screws back to fix the NXES104 on the rear panel of the NXAMP.
N.B.: Keep the NX-DFLT card in a safe place as you would need to put it back if you decide
to remove the NXES104 board for some reason. Do not use the NXAMP Powered
TDcontroller without any expansion board fitted.

NXAMP control page in ESmonitor software

ESmonitor software by Auvitran is a free PC based application running under Windows XP
and Windows Vista, permitting full control over an Ethersound™ network. From this
software you have access to the routing of the network and to some specific control
depending on the device connected.
