4.5: USER DSP ON/OFF
Connections from the RS485 device to the speaker is as follows:-
From RS485 Device RJ45 To Vnet Network
B+ Pin 1
A - Pin 2
GND Pin 5
Network connections between nodes are via rugged Neutrik ethercon connectors; these are high quality and are compatible
with standard RJ45 plugs. Node connections are made using standard RJ45 connectors and CAT5 cable. Long runs should
be solid core, but standard is fine. The implication is that stranded is more robust and less prone to breakage, it is therefore
suggested that solid should be used for install applications while stranded is better suited to rental applications. Cabinets can
be daisy chained or linked in a star configuration, or a combination of both. Quality termination of all connectors at each node
is essential for the network to function correctly.

6.1 LINKING CABINETS
The table below shows the standard straight-through convention for CAT5 patch cables (clip down) . These can be used
between network nodes. Bear in mind though that only Pins 1, 2, & 5 are used to link the network together.
P1 (pin No.) V P2 (pin No.) Colour
1 V 1 White/Orange
2 V 2 Orange
3 V 3 White/Green
4 V 4 Blue
5 V 5 White/Blue
6 V 6 Green
7 V 7 White/Brown
8 V 8 Brown
To aid the construction of very large networks each speaker provides a source of power (+12Volts) on the network Link
connector that can be used to seamlessly power network extenders or repeaters that large networks may require. This power
can be located on pin 4 on the NETWORK LINK connector. This power is passed between the NETWORK IN & NETWORK
LINK connectors if the speaker is powered off to ensure that upstream net powered devices continue to receive power.
