VNET INTERFACE USER GUIDE

USB

You can connect your computer to the VNET™ Interface via USB using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable as in diagram 2. It is not usually necessary to use a Power Supply to power the VNET™ Interface when using USB, since USB will supply sufficient power for the Interface. If there are any Network powered devices on the network however, then it will be necessary to use the Accessory Power Supply.

CONNECTING DEVICES

Connect the VNET™ Link socket on the VNET™ Interface to the VNET™ In socket of the first device you wish to control, then the VNET™ Link socket of this device to the VNET™ In socket of the next device, and so on. The order in which the devices are connected is not important. The Link socket of the last device in the ‘chain’ need not be connected. The In socket of the VNET™ Interface is intended for special applications, and would not normally be connected. The ‘Ethercon’ network connectors are fully compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet patch cables which may be used to make these connections. If additional ruggedness is required, we recommend using the Neutrik Ethercon locking type of connector.

RACKING

The VNET™ Interface and Accessory Power Supply may be used free-standing. If you wish to mount them in a 19-inch rack, then the Tannoy VNET™ accessory rack-mount kit may be used. To mount an Accessory in the Mounting Kit panel:

1.Remove the two mounting brackets and blanking sheet which are covering the aperture you wish to mount the Accessory in, by removing the two nuts. (Keep these and the screws and washers).

2.Remove the two screws from one side of the Accessory.

3.Using the two screws removed in 2, attach one mounting bracket loosely to the side of the Accessory, with the ‘ear’ towards the front, pointing outwards.

4.Repeat 2 and 3 for the other side. Now push the lid towards the back of the unit as far as it will go then align the bracket ears with the front edge of the lid.

Now tighten the screws.

5. Offer the Accessory with its mounting brackets up

to the reverse side of the Mounting Panel, and fix it in place using the two sets of screws, washers and nuts removed in 1.

Note that the holes at the rear ends of the brackets	5
may be used as cable tie-off points if desired.
