Even if a cable is severed at one point, the
signal will be re-routed automatically and
communication will continue without
interruption.
TWINLANe is Yamaha’s proprietary audio transfer
network protocol. With this protocol, 400-channel digital
audio and control signals can be transfered via a single
cable simultaneously.
To connect devices, first install a TWINLANe network
card in an HY card slot of each device, then use fiber optic
cables to connect the TWINLANe network cards in a ring
network topology.

Topology Ring
* If the number of connected devices is much larger, or if the
total length of all cables is too long, the listed value may not
apply.
NOTE
Yamaha recommends that you use opticalCON DUO fiber cable
made by Neutrik. In general, fiber optic cables are susceptible to
bending or pulling. Use a fiber optic cable that features a strong
plastic jacket and lock mechanism to avoid cable-related
problems.
About cleaning
If dirt or dust attached to the contact surface of jacks on
the fiber optic cables or connectors on the device, data
may not be transferred properly. Clean the contact surface
of jacks and connectors regularly using a commerciallyavailable fiber optic cleaning tool.

A TWINLANe network uses a ring topology, which
provides redundancy in case of broken cables. If a cable in
the network breaks down for some reason, the signal will
be automatically re-routed and audio will flow without
interruption. Even if a device in the network malfunctions,
other working devices will be able to continue
communicating.

About Dante About Connections
Dante is a network audio protocol developed by the
Audinate. Within a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE), Dante
delivers multi-channel audio signals at various sampling
frequencies and bit rates, as well as device control signals.
Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante.
http://www.audinate.com/
More information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha
Pro Audio website:
http://www.yamaha.com/proaudio/
Caution when using a network switch
Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches
in a Dante network.
Although power management should be negotiated
automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches
do not perform the negotiation properly.
This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks
when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor
synchronization performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend the following:
• When using a managed switch, turn off the EEE
function of all ports used by Dante. Do not use a
switch that is unable to turn off the EEE function.
• If using an unmanaged switch, do not use a switch that
supports the EEE function. Such switches are unable to
turn off the EEE function.
There are two ways to connect the Rio to a Dante network.
Please refer to the Operation Manual and other related
documents for more information on how to set up and
and connect your Dante-enabled devices.
NOTE
A daisy chain connection is suitable for a simple system with a
small number of devices.
Use a star network if a large number of devices are connected.
Daisy Chain Network
A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices
are connected together in sequence. In this way,
networking is simple and requires no network switches.
If you connect a large number of devices, you must set a
higher latency value to avoid skipping audio that could be
caused by an increased delay in signal transfer among the
devices. Also, if a connection is broken in a daisy chain
network, the signal flow is interrupted at that point and no
signal will be transferred beyond that point.
HY144-D
CSD-R7
* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch
power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also
known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.

Secondary Dante
In a star network, each device is connected to a central
network switch. Using a GbE-compatible network switch
enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network.
We recommend a network switch that features various
functions to control and monitor the network (such as
Qos, the ability to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock
synchronization or audio transmission on certain data
circuits.)
With this topology, it is common to configure a redundant
network so that an unexpected network problem will not
affect any audio or otherwise stable communications.
About Redundant Networks
A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary
circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network
operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary
connection is broken, the secondary circuit will
automatically take over communications. Therefore, using
a redundant network with a star topology would increase
communication stability relative to a daisy chain network.
NOTE
If you have been using an HY144-D card on RIVAGE PM10
V1.51 or earlier, you must update the firmware for the HY144-D.
Details on updating the firmware are available on the following
