1. Use CAT5e or CAT6 (non-shield) cable to connect accessories to the host processor bus-port.
2. Up to 8 Accessories can be daisy chained from a single port.
3. Up to 16 Accessories can be connected to a single AZM, (AZM4 or AZM8).
4. The maximum cable length from the AZM to the last accessory on the chain is 1000’(305m).
5. One Audio Wall Plate (A-XLR, A-RCA, A-BT) can be used per bus-port.
Note: See “Plug and Play Accessories Connection Rules” for more details.
Note: A maximum of 8 X-ANS accessories can be used per AZM.
