SETUP

RM-CG
SWR2311P-10G
RM-CR
VXL1-16P
1st unit 2nd unit
In order to use this unit, setup is required. First, connect this unit to peripheral devices, and then perform setup using the Web GUI.

Connecting to peripheral devices

This unit is one of the components of the complete and customizable ADECIA communications solution. Refer to the diagram below to connect this unit to peripheral devices with LAN cables.
IMPORTANT: There is a DIP switch for specifying settings on the back of each VXL1-16P. Before plugging in LAN cables, set the DIP
switches as shown below. The DIP switch settings on the two units must not be the same.

The ADECIA uses PoE or PoE+ as the system for supplying/receiving power. In addition, Dante is used as the connection format.
Computer
USB cable
CAUTION : When disconnecting the LAN cable from the Dante/PoE port, wait at least five seconds before reconnecting the cable.
Otherwise, damage or malfunctions may result.
: With a Dante network, do not use the EEE function* of the network switch. Although mutual power consumption
settings are automatically adjusted between switches that support the EEE function, some switches do not perform that properly. As a result, the switch’s EEE function may be enabled inappropriately in the Dante network, possibly degrading clock synchronization performance and interrupting audio. Therefore, please note the following.
• When using managed switches, turn off the EEE function on all ports used for Dante. Do not use a switch that does not allow the EEE function to be turned off.
• When using unmanaged switches, do not use switches that support the EEE function. In such switches, the EEE function cannot be turned off.
* EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet) function: Technology that reduces the power consumption of Ethernet devices during
periods of low network traffic; also known as Green Ethernet or IEEE802.3az.
