RIVAGE PM7 System Setup Guide

Star Network
In a star network, each device is connected to a central
network switch. Using a GbE-compatible network switch
enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network.
We recommend a network switch that features various
functions 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 common to configure a redundant
network so that an unexpected network problem will not
affect any audio or otherwise stable communications.
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.
NOTE
If you have been using an HY144-D card on RIVAGE PM10
V1.51 or earlier, you must update the firmware for the HY144-D.
Details on updating the firmware are available on the following
