Network Management
This chapter describes the network and control aspects of SoundStructure sys-
tems including managing the device over IP and configuring the RS-232 port.
Connecting To The Device
SoundStructure devices have a LAN interface and RS-232 port that may be
used to configure, control, and update the system software. This section
describes both the LAN and RS-232 interfaces.
When multiple devices are linked over OBAM, only one ethernet interface or
RS-232 port is required to be used, although multiple simultaneous ports may
be used.
LAN Interface
SoundStructure devices include a rear-panel LAN interface, shown in the
following figure, that supports 10/100 Mbps communication with
Auto-MDIX (medium dependent interface crossover) capability. Auto-MDIX
enables the use of either a standard CAT5e cable or cross-over cable to connect
to an Ethernet network. The SoundStructure device will detect either
connection and work properly.
