4.4.2 U-NET

The UX8800 can be networked with additional UX8800s and other U-Net enabled products

through its built-in U-Net ports. The rear panel U-Net 1 and U-Net 2 ports are bi-directional

communication ports used to communicate audio and/or control signals. Either or both ports may

be used to connect to other U-Net enabled products. When U-Net ports are connected, control

signals are automatically sent and received. Audio signals must be assigned to be sent and received

over U-Net channels using the CH function for the Input Channels and/or Output Channels.

Cable: 8 conductor CAT-5 cable or better

Mating Connector: RJ-45 male

Wiring Configuration: Standard or crossover (supplied)

NOTE: The U-Net ports auto-sense the cable wiring configuration.

4.4.3 CONNECTING ONE PROCESSOR TO ONE COMPUTER

Use the processor’s front panel Ethernet port and the supplied Ethernet crossover cable to

connect directly to a computer’s 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps Ethernet port. A user-supplied,

shorter or longer cable may be substituted. The UX8800’s Ethernet port is auto-

negotiating, meaning it will automatically exchange information over a link about speed

and duplex capabilities and negotiate these to the highest common denominator.

CAUTION: An Ethernet crossover cable is required when connecting two Ethernet ports in the

same layer of the OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model). A computer’s

Ethernet port, meaning its NIC (network interface card), and the UX8800 are both OSI layer

3 ports. Therefore, an Ethernet crossover cable is REQUIRED when directly connecting the

UX8800 to a computer’s NIC. An Ethernet crossover cable reverses transmit and receive pin

connections between the connectors at each end of the cable.

4.4.4 CONNECTING ONE COMPUTER TO MULTIPLE PROCESSORS USING U-NET

Use the front panel Ethernet port on one processor to

connect to a computer as in Section 4.5.1 above. This

processor serves as a bridge to the U-Net network.

Connect other processors and this processor together

using the U-Net ports.

NOTE: Audio signals may also be routed between

processors over the same U-Net cables by assigning

other U-Net inputs and outputs to the input and

output channels.

4.4.5 CONNECTING ONE PROCESSOR TO AN ETHERNET NETWORK

Use the front panel Ethernet port and a standard Ethernet cable to connect to a 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps

Ethernet hub or switch on the network.
