16 • English EX-440C/1280/1280C/12AEC • Installation & Operation Guide

PRO.BOSE.COM

5. Dante Network Connection

The rear panel of the processor includes two Dante network ports (Primary and
Secondary), which provide input and output channels of low-latency digital audio using

Dante audio networking technology. These ports can be configured for switched (default),
redundant, isolated, or filtered network connections using Dante Controller by Audinate.

The EX-1280 and EX-1280C support 64 input channels and 64 output channels.
The EX-440C and EX-12AEC support 16 input channels and 16 output channels.

You can use these same network ports to control and configure the processor while using
ControlSpace Designer software. Connect the proper Dante port to a computer either
directly or through an Ethernet switch. Ensure that the computer is on the same subnet as
the processor using one of the following three methods:

Set the computer to DHCP and connect a DHCP server to the network. Both the
processor and the computer will obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.

Set the computer to DHCP and without a DHCP server. Both the processor and the
computer will obtain an AutoIP-assigned IP address.

Set the computer to a static IP address and use the processor's front-panel display and
knob to assign the processor a static address on the same subnet.

For more information, see the help system for ControlSpace Designer.

The control and audio signals for each type of network connection are configured in the
following way for each port:

Connection Primary Port Secondary Port

Switched* D/C D/C
Legacy* D/C C
Redundant* D/C D
Isolated D C

* Connect only 1 Cat 5 cable

to the same network

D: Dante audio
C: ControlSpace control

6. Far-end Connections

VoIP

Use a Cat 5 cable to connect the VoIP port (RJ-45) on the EX-440C or EX-1280C to a
compatible session-initiation-protocol (SIP) IP private branch exchange (PBX).

For information on configuring the VoIP connection, see the help system for ControlSpace
Designer.

Telephone

Use a RJ-11 cable to connect the Telephone Line port on the EX-440C or EX-1280C to an
analog telephone line.

Soft Codecs

Use a USB cable to connect the micro-B USB port on the EX-1280, EX-440C, or EX-1280C to
a computer. You can use soft codecs (with EX-440C or EX-1280C) or PC applications (with
EX-1280) with stereo input and output over this connection.

7. Control Connections

The rear panels of the EX-1280, EX-440C, and EX-1280C include various connections for compatible controllers:

The EX-1280, EX-440C, and EX-1280C include general-purpose connections (Control Inputs or Control
Outputs) for external control hardware.

The EX-1280, EX-440C, and EX-1280C include a RS-232 port (Serial) for connecting industry-standard
serial control systems.

The EX-1280 and EX-1280C include an RS-485 port (CC-16) for compatible Bose controllers.

GPIO

Use the rear-panel general-purpose input/output (GPIO) connections to interface the processor with external
control hardware.

The EX-1280 and EX-1280C include five general-purpose inputs and five general-purpose outputs.

The EX-440C includes one general-purpose input.

General-purpose Inputs

General-purpose control input ports are used to connect external hardware such as potentiometers (to
control levels or gains) and switches (to set logic states). Use ControlSpace Designer to easily assign
functions to these external controls.

Using Switches

Both toggle switches and
pushbuttons can be used with
control inputs. Each input
terminal is tied to an internal two­kiloohm pull-up resistor so that
external switches can be wired
directly from input to ground.

General-purpose Outputs

Current Source Devices

Some devices such as LEDs
and low-current relays can be
powered directly from control
outputs. A maximum source
current of 10 milliamps is
available.

Source Limits: 8 VDC,
10 mA (max.)

Using Potentiometers

10 kiloohm potentiometers can be
connected and associated with
control gain blocks in a system
design. Inputs are compatible
(through ControlSpace Designer)
with linear-taper potentiometers
wired for minimum resistance at
the fully clockwise position or
at the fully counter-clockwise
position.

Current Sink Devices

Devices that require more current
than is available from a current­source configuration can use
control outputs to sink up to
100 milliamps when used with
external power supplies. Use
proper precautions when driving
inductive loads.

Sink Limits: 100 mA (max.).
External supplies must be
≤ 24 VDC.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

The processor cannot
power on.

The power is on, but
there is no sound.

The sound is distorted. Using ControlSpace Designer, verify that the audio input signal indicator blocks

The processor does
not appear on the
same network as the
computer when using
ControlSpace Designer.

Use the included power cord to connect the processor's power inlet (on the rear
panel) to a power outlet.

Verify that the mains power is active.

Verify that there is an input signal from the source using ControlSpace Designer.
The audio input metering should be in the green/yellow band.

Verify that there is an output signal. The audio output signal metering should be
in the green/yellow band.

are not showing solid red or flashing red. If they are, reduce the input pre-gain
setting to where the input is no longer clipping (red).

Using ControlSpace Designer, verify that the audio output signal indicator
blocks are not solid red or flashing red. If they are, and if the input indicators
are green, use ControlSpace Designer to reduce the output gain or any
intermediary gain in the signal path.

If the input and output indicators are green, and if you are sure the output
volume of the audio device is undistorted when it enters the system, verify that
the loudspeakers are not being overdriven and are not damaged.

Verify that the processor is fully booted. The Power/Status indicator on the
front panel should appear solid white.

Verify that the LAN settings on the TCP/IP Ethernet device you are using on the
computer are set correctly:

If you are not using a DHCP server, manually set the computer's IP address
to an unused IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.2).

The default IP subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0.

Open the firewall settings on the computer, and unblock all ports.

Open the Hardware Manager in ControlSpace Designer, and verify that the
proper Host Network Interface Card Name is selected.

Verify that there is not another device connected to the network with the same
IP address.

See the help system for ControlSpace Designer for detailed steps to ensure the
processor is on the same network as the computer.

Problem Solution

Maintenance

Power/Status indicator remains
red after booting.

The processor does not indicate
any network connectivity.

The front-panel display shows
the NETWORK SETTINGS – CS
page with an unexpected IP
address of 169.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x.

A connected AmpLink-enabled
amplifier is not receiving
AmpLink audio signal from the
processor.

The processor does not register
any Dante audio subscriptions
(connections) or audio signals.

This is most often the result of an incompatibility between the design
file and firmware version. To fix this, retrieve the saved design from
the processor (if you have not already saved it to your computer), and
then upload a blank design file to the processor. The Power/Status
indicator should change to white. Import the saved design file into the
latest version of ControlSpace Designer. After that, save the design
file, and then upload it to the processor.

Verify the processor's ControlSpace port (on the rear panel) is
connected to the network.

Verify that the network activity LED built into the ControlSpace port
(on the rear panel) is lit or blinking to confirm an active network
connection.

If the processor's IP mode is set to DHCP when no DHCP server is on
the network, the processor will use these ranges by default. Add a
DHCP server to the network, or change the processor's IP address to a
static IP address.

Verify that the connection cable is a shielded Cat 5 network cable,
and set the amplifier to receive AmpLink Channels 1–4 (EX-440C) or
Channels 1–8 (EX-1280 and EX-1280C).

Verify that the IP address of the processor’s Dante card is on the same
network as the processor’s ControlSpace control IP address. To do
this, view the Dante Info page (see page 24 for more information).
To change the IP address of the processor's Dante card, use
Audinate’s Dante Controller software. It can also be helpful to change
the computer's network settings from a static IP mode to a DHCP
mode to view and change the IP address of the Dante card.

FCC Compliance Statement

For United States Users

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On
the bottom side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in
the format US:JUBBR01AEX-440C (for EX-440C) or US:JUBBR01AEX-1280C (for EX-1280C). If requested,
this number must be provided to the telephone company. The information associated with the services the
equipment is to be connected are REN: 0.1A, Jack type: RJ-11C.

The REN is useful to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of
RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices
that you may connect to your line line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is
part of the product identifier that has the format US:JUBBR01AEX-440C (for EX-440C) or US:JUBBR01AEX­1280C (for EX-1280C). The digits represented by 01A are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 01A is a REN
of 0.1A). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
