Chapter 1: Getting Started
This chapter shows you how to prepare the DN965X for operation, which includes:
• Unpacking
• Installation
• Connecting up
• Switching the unit on/off
• Initial configuration
Before installing, setting up or operating this equipment, make sure you have
read and fully understand all of the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” at
the front of this document.
Important:
You must set up the IP address and netmask of your computer (PC/Mac)
before using it for the first time.
Unpacking
Carefully unpack your DN965X equipment package. Then, inspect the DN965X unit
carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit and notify the
courier immediately if you discover any.
Please retain the original packing in case you should need to return the equipment to
the manufacturer or supplier, or transport or ship the unit later.
Installation
When installing the unit, take the following into consideration.
• Do not install the equipment in places of poor ventilation.
• Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive heat, dust or
mechanical vibration. Allow for adequate ventilation around the equipment, making
sure that its vents are not obstructed. To prevent excessive heating of the
equipment, avoid mounting it directly above power amplifiers or other devices that
radiate significant amounts of heat, such as radiators and heaters. Keep the
equipment out of direct sunlight.
• This unit is designed for mounting in any 19” EIA standard rack. Four rack-mount
holes in the front panel are provided for rack mounting and are designed to fully
support the weight of the unit in the rack. Avoid over-tightening the rackmount
screws, as this could damage the front panel.

About the DN965X units
The DN965X units provide bi-directional sample rate conversion of 24-bit resolution
digital audio between two clock domains, all in a standard 1U high 19” rack mount
chassis.
Front and rear panels of the DN9650 Network Bridge
The DN9650 has an AES50 and a network clock domain, provided by a three-port
AES50 digital audio interface and a third party network module interface, whereas both
clock domains of the DN9652 are of the network type and are provided by two, third
party network module interfaces.
Supported network modules are designed and manufactured by Lab X Technologies and
Audinate Pty Ltd. and conform to Cirrus Logic Inc. CM-1/CM-2 interface to support
protocols, which include MADI, Audinate Dante and Aviom A-Net.
DN9650/DN9652 Network Bridge
Operator Manual 7
Page 22
Chapter 2: Overview
Front and rear panels of the DN9652 Network Bridge
Since the network clock domains (A and B) contain digital audio, an intermediate
asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC) effectively resamples the audio as it
passes between them, while obeying Nyquist sampling theory1. The ASRC has a bypass
option for when both domains are locked to the same sample clock; this has the facility
to select one of the clock domains as a master, which allows one to be synchronously
clocked from the other to minimise latency.
• AES50 clock domain Supports either internal or external synchronisation. The
DN9650 uses its on-board clock oscillator for internal synchronisation. For external
synchronisation, the incoming clock is connected to one of the AES50 ports.
Additionally, the AES50 clock domain has the option of slaving to the network clock
domain, word clock and video black burst if the SRC is bypassed.
• Network clock domain Supports clock synchronisation to the incoming clock via
a third party network module, word clock in or video black burst (supporting
PAL/NTSC formats) interfaces. Additionally (DN9650 only), the network clock
domain has the option of slaving to the AES50 clock domain.
Supported third party multi-channel digital audio interfaces are as follows:
• LabX MADI V1.14
•Audinate Dante
•Aviom a-Net
•Ethersound
• It is intended that more third party protocols will be supported
The DN965X has an internal Linux web server running a platform-independent
HTML-based interface that allows unit configuration via a computer (with up-to-date
browser), which is connected to the Ethernet port on the rear panel of the unit.
Supported platforms are: PCs (Windows); Apple Macs; and Linux-based PCs.
The units are capable of operating from a 100 to 240V ±10%, 50 to 60Hz AC power
source.
Key features
The DN965X has the following key features:
• 1U high, 19” rackmount unit.
• Able to interface between AES50 and third party multi-channel audio networks

Chapter 6: Operation
Although there are no operating procedures associated with the DN965X, this chapter
shows you how to create a MADI split.
Using a MADI module as a MADI split
One of the features of the MADI card is that it allows you to create a MADI split. This is
because the MADI card has both optical and co-axial connections, which can both be
enabled simultaneously in the software (see “Setting up a network module” on
page 19). This allows outgoing audio from the DN965x to be received simultaneously
on both remote systems. However, this configuration has some very real limitations as
compared to a real split (see “Limitations” on page 25).
Limitations
Typical example of a DN9650/DN9652 connected in a MADI split configuration
>> To configure the MADI module as a MADI split
• Set the unit MADI card as clock source (for example, choose master, onboard
oscillator, WCLK etc.).
• One format (for example, optical) connected in a loop (Tx and Rx) as usual to a
remote system (MADI slave).
• The other format (co-axial in this case) connected by just the Tx connection on the
module to another remote system (also MADI slave).
The limitations of using the MADI module as a MADI split are as follows:
• Incoming audio to DN965x unit is only available from one remote MADI system.
• There is no clock domain separation between the two remote systems.
• If the remote system with the bi-directional link goes down or the link is
disconnected the other remote system loses its audio feed.
• Errors at the other end of the uni-directional link cannot be detected.

Appendix C: Service Information
This appendix contains routine service and maintenance instructions.
Restoring the factory defaults
You can reset the DN965X unit to its factory default settings
by pressing the RESET button on the rear panel of the unit
(see Figure 1, “Rear panel of the DN965X,” on page 15).
The LCD screen will display the message shown right to
inform that the settings are being reset. The unit will then
reboot with the factory defaults.
Routine maintenance
To help keep your DN9650/DN9652 Network Bridge unit in good working order and to
make sure it gives you optimum performance, we recommend that you carry out the
following at monthly intervals:
• Clean the unit (see “Cleaning” below).
• Check the controls for freedom of operation.
• Check the functionality of all controls, that is, control knobs, pushbuttons and LEDs.
• Check the functionality of the equipment.
Cleaning
Switch off the unit and electrically isolate it from the mains before cleaning.
Clean the DN9650/DN9652 Network Bridge using a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasives or solvents. When cleaning the unit, take great care not to damage
control knobs, pushbuttons etc.
To clean the LCD screen, wipe it carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth using ethanolic
liquid, such as a screen cleaner for LCDs, or by using a screen wipe specially designed
for the purpose. When cleaning the LCD screen, please take the following precautions:
• Don’t use harsh abrasives, such as paper towels.
• Don’t apply liquids directly to the screen.
• Don’t use ammonia-based cleaners and solvents, such as acetone.
You can carry out a visual check of all illuminated items (LEDs etc.) by switching the
unit off and then on again, as they should all illuminate during power up.

Checking/replacing the mains fuse
Checking/replacing the mains fuse
The equipment must be independently isolated from the mains voltage supply
before any attempt is made to change the protective fuse. The fuse and its
cover must always be replaced before the equipment is reconnected to the
mains voltage supply.
Only use the correct replacement type when changing the fuse. Fuse specification is
printed on the rear cover.
To remove the fuse, pull out the fuse drawer (see “Mains input” on page 16). Then,
prise out the fuse from the furthest compartment (the nearest compartment is for a
spare fuse); a small, flat-bladed screwdriver may be useful for this.
Insert a new fuse in the rear fuse compartment, and close the drawer.
After replacing a fuse, check that the unit is working properly.
Always ensure that there is a spare fuse available.
Special accessories
To comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules, any special accessories (that is, items that
cannot be readily obtained from multiple retail outlets) supplied with this equipment
must be used with this equipment; do not use any alternatives, as they may not fulfil
the RF requirement.
Optional equipment
Unless advised otherwise, optional equipment must only be installed by service
personnel and in accordance with the appropriate assembly and usage regulations.
Equipment disposal
When this equipment has come to the end of its useful life, its disposal may come under
the DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of
27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Hazardous substances in WEEE contaminate water, soil and air and ultimately put at
risk our environment and health. The directive aims to minimize the impacts of WEEE
on the environment during their life times and when they become waste.
The WEEE directive addresses the disposal of products when they have reached the end
of their life and contributes to the reduction of wasteful consumption of natural
resources. This will help to reduce pollution, and protect the environment and
ourselves.
If this equipment carries a ‘crossed-out wheelie bin’ (shown left), please
do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste but collect and
dispose of in accordance with local WEEE legislation. The horizontal bar
underneath indicates that the product was placed on the EU market after
13th August 2005.
For WEEE disposal, see our website at www.klarkteknik.com for
information.
