2 Introduction
2.1 Hardware - MA-NET1
The MA-NET1 NomadLink/Ethernet Bridge acts as a subnet master for up to 60 units of networked
NomadLink-ready amplifiers. Bridging between the NomadLink daisy-chained network and standard
Ethernet/LAN, the MA-NET1 provides utilization of any standard Ethernet architecture when connecting a PC
running the MA Netcontrol software.
If desired, the PC can be disconnected after a subnet of amplifiers is created and adjusted, and the MA-
NET1 maintains and monitors the network instead. With the user interface of the MA-NET1 it is possible to
power on/off the amplifiers as needed, as well as navigate through and monitor various features on the
display.
