Star Network
In a star network, each device is connected to a central
GbE-compatible network switch. This connection
enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale
network.
 Settings
• Turn on Dante DIP switch 1 (DOWN).
• If there are multiple Dante-compatible devices from
Yamaha that require an ID setting connected to the
same network, set a different ID for each device. Make
sure to change the settings of the rotary switch while
the power to the unit is turned off; otherwise, the ID
setting will not be effective.
NOTE
• We recommend a network switch that features various
functions for controlling and monitoring the network (such as
QoS).
• Do not use the EEE functionality of network switches.
Star Network (Redundant Network)
You can set up a star network redundant so that there is
no audio loss even if interference occurs on the network.
A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary
circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network
operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary
connection is broken, the secondary circuit will
automatically take over communications.
 Settings
• Turn on Dante DIP switch 1 (DOWN).
• If there are multiple Dante-compatible devices from
Yamaha that require an ID setting connected to the
same network, set a different ID for each device. Make
sure to change the settings of the rotary switch while
the power to the unit is turned off; otherwise, the ID
setting will not be effective.
NOTE
• We recommend a network switch that features various
functions for controlling and monitoring the network (such as
QoS).
• Do not use the EEE functionality of network switches.
• The Dante [SYNC] indicator flashes as follows when
communication error occurs on the Dante Redundant
Network.
Connecting MADI-compatible
Devices
You can connect the RMio64-D to MADI-compatible
devices using either 75Ω coaxial (BNC) or optical (SC)
cables.
Using 75Ω Coaxial Cables
NOTE
Coaxial cables of up to 100 meters (theoretical value) can be
used.
