4 System overview

The Axum is a digital modular audio system that can solve your digital mixing/routing requirements in
your broadcast studio or in your complete broadcast facility. The modular system can be used in all
your mixing/routing applications like on-air broadcast, self-op, production and voice tracking.

4.1 System parts

To make a functional mixing console you require at least a 19" rack with a DSP card (32 stereo
channels), the desired I/O cards and a control surface that can control all the mixing power. The
connection between the 19" rack(s) and control surface(s) rely on a network protocol that is been
called MambaNet.
MambaNet works on Ethernet layer 2, there for no IP-addresses have to be setup for the 'real-time'
functionality.
WARNING: Do not connect multiple AXUM engines/racks in the same Ethernet network (Layer
2)
To connect surface(s) and 19" rack(s) you can built on this known Ethernet standard with common
switches till advanced managed switches with all the security solutions as there are STP (spanning
tree protocol), Trunking etc.
For (remote) configuration the well known webbrowser is used to access the consoles webserver. Of
course this happens on a IP-based level of communication, which makes it possible to configure
system over the internet.
The defaults IP-addresses for configuration pages are:
http://192.168.0.200
http://192.168.0.23x
