SUBNET CONNECTION
Each of the 8 available RDNET ports of the RDNET CONTROL 8 unit can be connected to
max. 32 compatible audio devices (linked in ‘daisy-chain’).
Example: the RDNET CONTROL 8 port 1 is connected to the DATA IN input of a DVA T12
loudspeaker, of which DATA LINK parallel output is linked to the input of the following DVA
T12 loudspeaker.

In the example above, [n] is a number from 3 to 32 (max. quantity of audio devices that
can be connected to a subnet).
The total CAT 5 cable length of a subnet cannot exceed 900 metres (c. 2950 feet).
As future option, it will be possible to link subnet pairs in rings (to verify line integrity).
For instance: the RDNET CONTROL 8 port 1 is connected to the DATA IN input of a DVA
T12 loudspeaker, of which DATA LINK parallel output is linked the input of the following
DVA T12 loudspeaker. The DATA LINK output of the last DVA T12 loudspeaker of the
line is connected the RDNET CONTROL 8 port 2.
