Front Panel Indicators
Power Indicator: Green LED
Primary network: Green LED, indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate
Secondary network: As Primary network indicator. Not used in switched mode.
Locked: Green LED. When unit is network slave, shows valid network lock, when network master shows unit is locked to indicated clock source. Flashing means invalid external clock present and unit has reverted to internal clock
Unit sample rate: Orange LED for each: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, x2, x4
Pull up/down: Indicates unit is set to operate on a Dante pull up/down domain
Signal indicators: 16 Green LEDs, 8 input/8 output indicators. Illuminate at -126 dBFS
Clock source indicators: Orange LED for each: Internal, Word Clock, DARS, Input 1–2, Input 9–10
Network Modes
Redundant: Allows unit to connect to two independent networks
Switched: Connects both ports to integrated network switch allowing daisy-chaining of devices
