ACU16-C & NHB32-C Owner’s Manual

Front Panel

AUSB port

This USB port is used to connect the NHB32-C to a USB port on a PC running Net-

workAmp Manager. The rear panel TO COMPUTER port offers an alternative method of

connection. The PC port to be used for communication with the NHB32-C is set in Net-

workAmp Manager.

BUNIT ID switch

This switch is used to set the unit ID of the NHB32-C. Each NHB32-C on the network must

be assigned an exclusive ID from 0 to 7. The following table shows how the switch markings

correspond to unit IDs 0 through 7. The switch can be set by using either a small ﬂat-bladed

screwdriver or a Phillips screwdriver.

CLOCK indicator

This indicator lights up when the NHB32-C is locked to the selected wordclock source. It

ﬂashes when the NHB32-C is unlocked.

DNETWORK STATUS indicators

These indicators show the status of the CobraNet network.

LINK: This indicator lights when the NHB32-C has a valid connection to the CobraNet

network. If a link cannot be established, the CONDUCT and ERROR indicators light

instead.

CONDUCT: This indicator lights when the NHB32-C is the CobraNet Conductor (i.e.,

wordclock master and arbitrator for the entire network).

ERROR: This indicator lights when a CobraNet link cannot be established, and ﬂashes

when a CobraNet interface error occurs.

EWordclock source indicators

These indicators show the currently selected wordclock source.

AES/EBU: Wordclock sourced from a pair of AES/EBU inputs.

NETWORK: Wordclock sourced from the CobraNet network.

WORD CLOCK IN: Wordclock sourced from the NHB32-C’s BNC WORD CLOCK IN

connector.

Switch Setting 0/8 1/9 2/A 3/B 4/C 5/D 6/E 7/F

Note: The NHB32-C must be turned off before setting the unit ID. Make sure that each

NHB32-C is assigned an exclusive ID. Assigning the same unit ID to two or more NHB32-Cs

will produce unpredictable results.

Note: Use a screwdriver that’s appropriate for the size of the slot in the switch. Using a screw-

driver with too big a handle, or a screwdriver with too small a tip, may damage the switch.

Note: If a system error occurs, the LINK, CONDUCT, and ERROR indicators ﬂash simulta-

neously. This type of error can be caused by an incorrect device setting or a faulty NHB32-C.

See “System Errors” on page 37 for more information.
