Network Connection Example

If you connect the TXn units’ [NETWORK] connector to a computer via an Ethernet cable, you’ll be able to mon-

itor/control the TXn units from Amp Editor. Including computers and other equipment, a total of up to 253 units

can be connected in a single network.

If you wish to connect multiple TXn units, use a network switch that supports 100Base-TX/10Base-T.
The Ethernet cable between the network switch and the TXn can be up to 100 meters long. Due to the quality of cables and net-
work switch performance, however, proper operation at the maximum length cannot be guaranteed in some cases.
Since the TXn supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the straight type or
crossover type, and will configure itself to create the optimal connection. Therefore, you can use either a straight or crossover
cable.
•To prevent electromagnetic interference, use an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable.
Refer to the Amp Editor Installation Guide and the Amp Editor Owner’s Manual for information on the TXn initial setup for using
the TXn in a network.
