ASIO Configuration
11 ASIO CONFIGURATION
Since AVM500-ES firmware version 0x110C/0x118C, Ports C, D and E can be swapped from EtherSound to ASIO stream.
When performing such a swap, the port is no longer an EtherSound Output or Input, but a regular Ethernet port. Plugging an
EtherSound compatible device on an ASIO port will have no effect, and EtherSound compatible device will NOT be
controllable through ES-Monitor.
An ASIO port is waiting for a computer connection. It can be a direct connection through a regular Cat5 cable, or it can go
through an Ethernet switch. A Gigabit switch may be recommended rather than a 100Mbits one, to be sure to not have
bandwidth limitation. For further information regarding ASIO technical configuration, please refer to “AuviTran Network ASIO
Streamer User’s Manual”.
11.1 Enable ASIO mode
Activating the ASIO streaming mode on a port is a three-step process:
1. Dissociate the port and configure it as an ‘In’ port (this is in Port A control tab):
The port will then disappear from the network displayed in AVS-ESMonitor.
2. Connect the port to the PC (use a switch to connect both the ASIO port and the 3
rd
port of the AVM500-ES to the
PC). The port is visible again in AVS-ESMonitor.
3. In the port’s control tab you can now enable the ASIO streaming mode:
Make sure to set the port to ‘In’ mode before
connecting it to the host PC or to a switch. Failure to do so will
cause EtherSound traffic to be broadcasted and will have a severe impact on the network’s performance a
