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.

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:

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.

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 Yamaha Pro Audio website:
