Connection Examples

To construct an ampliﬁer control system, connect the ACD1 to your ampliﬁers and computer as follows.

Connections between the ACD1 and computer

• Use a network switch that is compatible with 100Base-TX/10Base-T.

• The network switch is not necessary if the computer and ACD1 are directly connected.

• The Ethernet cable between the computer or network switch and the ACD1 can be no longer than 100 meters. However,

due to variations in computers, network switches, and cable quality, proper operation at the maximum length cannot be

guaranteed in some cases.

• In the United States or Canada, the Ethernet cables that connect the ACD1 to the computer or network switch should be

STP cables in order to avoid electromagnetic interference.

• Since the ACD1 supports Auto MDI/MDI-X, it will automatically detect whether the connected cable is of the straight type

or crossover type, and will conﬁgure itself to create the appropriate connection. Therefore, you can use either a straight or

crossover cable.
