■ Connecting I/O devices to the CL series
Make connections as shown below using the Dante
connectors of the CL series and the I/O devices, and set the
rotary switches and DIP switches of the I/O devices.

Star network (redundant network)
In a star network, each device is connected to a central hub.
Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to
configure a wide-band, large-scale network. We
recommend a network switch that gives you the ability to
control and monitor the network (such as QoS, the ability
to assign priority to data flows - e.g., clock synchronization
or audio transmission on certain data circuits).
With this topology, it is usual to configure a redundant
network so that even if an unexpected network problem
occurs, communication can occur without affecting the
audio.
About redundant networks
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. Therefore, using
a redundant network with a star topology would increase
communication stability relative to a daisy chain network.
■ Connecting I/O devices to the CL series
Make connections as shown below using the Dante
connectors of the CL series and the I/O devices, and set the
rotary switches and DIP switches of the I/O devices.
