Aviom, Inc. via mail or fax as soon as possible. About A-Net A-Net® is a proprietary high-speed data transmission protocol developed by Aviom, capable of sending and receiving high-quality digital audio using readily available Cat-5 cables. A-Net is based on the physical layer of Ethernet, a Local Area Network (or LAN) technology. This provides A-Net with a mature and robust base on which to build. -
Page 12: Compatibility
Compatibility The D800 A-Net Distributor is compatible with Pro16, Pro16e, and Pro64 A-Net devices as detailed below. Pro16 Products The A-N from the following Pro16 devices may be connected to the D800 or D800-Dante’s rear panel A-N port: • AN-16/i v.2 Input Module •... -

RJ45 Jack Cat-5e Cable Cat-5 Cables Although the D800 (or D800-Dante) A-Net Distributor’s eight front panel A-N ports will operate properly with unshielded Cat-5e cable, when connecting these outputs to Personal Mixers shielded Cat-5e (or better) cable must be used to stay below the CISPR 22 Class B, ICES-003, and FCC 47 CFR Part 15 Class B emissions limits. -
Page 14: Cable Lengths
Coupler Coupler For Pro16 applications—connecting one Pro16 device to another—the Cat-5 cables used with your Aviom products may be up to 500 feet (approximately 150 meters) in length between devices. For example, connecting an AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module to an AN-16/o Output Module is a Pro16-to-Pro16 connection. -
Page 15: Ac Line Conditioning
AC Line Conditioning Aviom products are digital devices and as such are sensitive to sudden spikes and drops in the AC line voltage. Changes in the line voltage from lightning, power outages, etc., can sometimes damage electronic equipment. -
Page 16: D800 A-Net Distributor
The D800-Dante A-Net Distributor adds connectivity for a Dante™ digital audio network, allowing up to 64 channels to be sent directly from a Dante audio network to A360 Personal Mixers. The D800-Dante may be set to use either its Dante interface or its A-Net In as the source of audio for the Personal Mixers. - Page 17 D800 Front Panel Front panel features described in this section are found on both the standard and Dante versions of the D800 A-Net Distributor. uNctION A-Net outputs 1-8, with DC power for Personal Mixers Locking dual Cat-5 connector; press tab to release Pro16 (I) or Pro16e (II) mode switch Cable pass-through D800...

Page 19: A-Net Ports 1 To 8
The standard D800 A-Net Distributor gets its network input from the A-N port on its rear panel. The D800-Dante version of the product can get its network audio from either a connected Dante network or its A-N port. A DIP switch for selecting the network source is provided on the Dante interface. See page 23 for additional information. -
Page 20: Connecting Personal Mixers
Connecting Personal Mixers To connect a Personal Mixer to the D800: • Connect a Cat-5e cable from an A-Net port on the D800 A-Net Distributor to the A-N port on the Personal Mixer. • DC power is supplied automatically to the Personal Mixer—no external DC power supply is required. -
Page 21: Mode Switches
Mode Switches Each of the eight A-Net ports on the front of the D800 has a two-position mode switch labeled with Roman numerals I and II. The switches are used to control data flow, either unidirectional (I) or bidirectional (II). The unidirectional mode is used with Pro16 Personal Mixers and output modules while the bidirectional mode is used with the A360 Personal Mixer to enable the two-way communication with the D800 when using the optional Network Mix Back and iOS support features. -

Page 30: Dante Network Ports
Dante Network Ports The Dante interface on the D800-Dante A-Net Distributor has two gigabit network ports labeled P rIMAry and S . The Dante Secondary port can be configured to be a pass-through port or a redundant ecONdAry copy of the Primary port. Configuring Dante settings requires the Dante Controller software available from the Audinate website. -
Page 31: Dante Configuration Dip Switches
Setting up a Dante network requires the use of the Dante Controller software available from the Audinate website. Once configured, the D800-Dante’s onboard set of four DIP switch blocks is used to configure the A-Net-specific settings. This document refers to the DIP switch blocks with numbers 1-4 as shown below. -

Page 38: Personal Mixing Systems
This system uses a single analog input device or digital console card; 16 total network slots are available to the Personal Mixers. If the D800-Dante is used, note that the Dante Disable DIP switch must be in the up position to use A-Net as the input source to the D800. (The Dante DIP switch is #10 in Switch Block 1.) Analog Input A-Net Out on the analog input device is connected to A-Net In on the D800. - Page 39 A-Net Out from the console card is connected to A-Net In on the D800. As with the analog version of the basic system, if a D800-Dante A-Net Distributor is used, the Dante Disable DIP switch (#10 in Switch Block 1) must be in the up position to use the A-N port.

- Page 41 32-64 Channels - Analog Inputs Up to four analog input devices may be connected to a D800 by cascading the A-Net ports on the A-Net input devices. The first input device in the system (Input Module 1 in the diagrams) can be an original AN-16/i Input Module or AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module.
- Page 42 32-64 Channels - Console Card Inputs Up to four digital console cards from the same clock domain may be connected to a D800 by connecting the cards to an SB4 System Bridge. The A-Net streams connected to the System Bridge will be merged into a single Pro16e data stream by the D800 A-Net Distributor.
- Page 43 32-64 Channels - Console Cards & Analog Up to three digital console cards from the same clock domain plus one AN-16/i v.2 Input Module may be combined to create a hybrid system that uses both analog and digital inputs to the network. An SB4 System Bridge is used to combine the A-Net outputs so that they may be connected to the D800’s A-Net input.
- Page 44 SB4 Front Panel Setup Connect the SB4 System Bridge to the D800. If the D800-Dante A-Net Distributor is used, the Dante Disable DIP switch must be in the up position to use the A-Net input rather than the Dante network input.
