MAKING CONNECTIONS

RNET Link In and Link Out

The RNET Link In and Link Out can be used to connect two to six CAM6.6 or CAV6.6 con- trollers. The connection is made using a CAT-5 patch cable from the Link Out of the master CAM6.6 and into the Link In of the next con- troller. Along with RNET data signals, the RNET Link In and Link Out jack passes the six source IR signals. These are only for source-specific IR remote repeating, not codes initiated from the controller’s internal IR library. The CAT-5 patch cable should not exceed 18 inches in length to avoid potential cross-talk between the source- specific IR repeating signal lines.

The RNET Link In and Link Out is also used to connect the CAM6.6 to other Russound prod- ucts with RNET.

Note: If two or more CAM6.6 or CAV6.6 con- trollers are connected using the RNET Link In and Link Out ports, each controller must have a unique Controller ID prior to being connected through the RNET ports. The Controller ID assignment must be performed during the Controller Setup section of the Installation menu. If using a CAM6.6T, be sure to set the Controller ID under “Peripheral Setup” to “ALL CON- TROLLERS” (page 50).

Note: It is not recommended to link together two CAM6.6T controllers. If designing a CAM6.6 system with more then one tuner, use two CAM6.6 controllers and a Russound ST2 Dual Tuner (also ST2-XM, ST2-XM2, ST2S). See page
