Introduction
Although there are many variables that exist for properly configuring the NION to pass audio,
the most basic requirements are shown below. These basic parameters will ensure that you can
connect, pass audio and control the NION processor.
Before you can get audio to pass through the NION, you will need to design your project file in
the NWare software. Please refer to the NWare User Guide for more information. It is highly
recommended that this process be deferred to system designers, engineers or technicians who
have attended the NION Technology & Applications Factory Seminar.
To properly configure the NION for audio operation, the following items are required or
recommended:
NION processing node
At least one Nio series analog audio input card
At least one Nio series analog audio output card
Tip: The nio-4x4 card supports both analog audio inputs and outputs on the same card.
This card can be used in place of an input card and an output card.
A late model computer running Windows 2000/XP/Vista
NWare software
Properly configured NWare project file
One Ethernet 100Base/TX network switch
At least two CAT5 cables
Audio source
Powered loudspeaker
Audio cabling.
For the purposes of testing and establishing basic operation, configure the NION as a
stand-alone processor. Typical connections for this configuration are shown in the illustration.
