HCOM port

This 9-pin male D-sub port is used to connect a Yamaha AD824 A/D converter. Control sig-

nals from a supporting device, such as the Yamaha DME32 Digital Mixing Engine or

Yamaha DM2000 Digital Production Console, can be transmitted via CobraNet’s Serial

Bridge. The COM port is an RS-422 serial interface, supporting cable runs of up to 1 kilo-

meter.

ITO COMPUTER port

This 9-pin male D-sub port is used to connect the NHB32-C to a COM port on a PC run-

ning NetworkAmp Manager. It’s an RS-232C serial interface, supporting cable runs of up

to 15 meters. The front panel USB port offers an alternative method of connection. The PC

port to be used for communication with the NHB32-C is set in NetworkAmp Manager.

JAES/EBU 1–4 I/O connectors

These four 25-pin female D-sub connectors are used to input and output up to 64 channels

of AES/EBU format digital audio. Each connector handles eight ins and eight outs.

AES/EBU inputs and outputs are assigned to CobraNet audio channels in NetworkAmp

Manager.

Cable Length & Switching Hubs

The maximum cable length for 100Ba-se-T Ethernet networks is 100 meters (2 kilome-

ters with ﬁber optic cables). However, depending on the type of cable, switching hub,

ACU16-C/NHB32-C’s workload, etc., reliable operation with this length of cable cannot

be guaranteed. In addition, although about three or four switching hubs can be con-

nected to a network, the actual number will depend on the efﬁciency of each switching

hub.
