Ethernet Interface

By connecting the N8000 system controller via the Ethernet interface, the communication between the N8000 and one or several PC is possible. This allows the configuration of N8000 via IRIS-Net software. Furthermore, the whole connected system (consisting of N8000s and EV Precision Series Remote Control Amplifiers) can be operated and monitored. By using appropriate network

hardware it is even possible to operate the N8000 via a wireless network (WLAN). The Ethernet interface on the rear of N8000 is a RJ-45 connector (8P8C). Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet standards are supported. The connections of the Ethernet interfaces can be seen in the following figure and table.
