THE EF BUS
EF Bus Reference. In a system with multiple devices, if all devices need the same echo canceller reference, one device should be designated to put its echo cancel- ler reference (either Ref 1 or Ref 2) on the EF bus to be used as the EF Bus Reference.
All other devices may use the EF bus reference as the reference for their echo cancel- lers, or they can use their own internal references. The references may include a mix of any input, with crosspoint gains, including W, X, Y, and Z busses.
NOM Bus. The W, X, Y, and Z busses on the EF Bus contain NOM information. See “NOM Active” on page 31 for more information on how NOM attenuation is applied.
Note. The EF Bus must be connected so that the EF BUS OUT of one Vortex device is connected to the EF BUS IN of another Vortex device. Connecting EF BUS IN to another EF BUS IN (or EF BUS OUT to EF BUS OUT) will not work. See“Connector Pinouts” on page 51 for pinout of Cat 5 cable.

PRESETS
Review what inputs need to be included in your echo canceller reference — See “Build Your Echo Canceller Reference” on page 17. Remember that each micro- phone needs to have an echo canceller reference. If all microphones are in the same room and use the same reference, configure the echo canceller reference on one Vor- tex device and assign it to the EF Bus as the EF Bus Reference. Only one Vortex device out of multiple units linked together can put an echo canceller reference on the EF Bus. For each additional unit, assign the echo canceller reference to use the EF Bus Reference.
For systems with more than one room, you will need to use the W, X, Y, or Z sub- busses to share the echo canceller reference in your additional rooms if the EF Bus Reference has already been assigned to the EF Bus.
After configuring your Vortex device, save your settings to a User Preset (PRESETS
If you have multiple Vortex devices in your system, save to a User Preset on each unit and set the POWER ON PRESET accordingly.
