protection fuse rating is marked on the rear panel.
The on/off switch is positioned on the rear panel
to prevent accidental operation.
2 Network port RJ45 socket for connection to
an Ethernet network or PC using UTP CAT5 cable.
This port is recommended for configuring the
system with iDR software. The MDI/X switch
selects network or direct to PC operation. The link
LED lights when communication is established.
The TX LED lights when data is communicated.
Note: The RS232, MIDI, SysNet and PL-Anet
control ports are not all available at the same time.
A combination of two is selected using iDR
System Manager. The associated active LED
lights when the port is available.
3 RS232 (MODEM) port This is used for
connection to a modem so that the unit can be
interrogated by a remote PC over a standard
telephone line. It can also be used for system
configuration using iDR System Manager software
but the faster network port is recommended.
Pressing the front panel switch selects either the
front or rear RS232 port.
4 MIDI port Standard opto-isolated MIDI port
with IN, THRU and OUT connectors.
5 SysNet port An RS232 serial port for
communication with third party remote controllers
running the Allen & Heath SysNet protocol.
6 PL-Anet port An RS485 serial port for
communication with a network of Allen & Heath
PL wall plates and remote controllers using CAT5
STP cable.
7 DR-Link port RJ45 socket for control of iDR
audio and logic expander units using CAT5 STP
cable. IN and OUT ports are provided on the
expander units so that the control can be daisy
chained through a system with more than one
expander.
8 Audio expander ports RJ45 sockets for
communicating 8 channel digital audio between
the iDR-8 and its expanders using CAT5 STP
cable. Two cables are required between the
expander and iDR-8, one for the audio, the other
for DR-Link control.
9 Mic/Line inputs Balanced XLR inputs for
microphone and line level sources. Adding the
iDR-in expands the iDR-8 to 16 inputs.
10 Audio outputs Balanced XLR line level
outputs with maximum +18dBu level. Adding the
iDR-out expands the iDR-8 to 16 outputs.
11 Monitor inputs and outputs Balanced TRS
jacks for L and R monitor inputs and outputs.
These provide a line level version of the front
panel stereo headphones output and can daisy
chain through multiple iDR units.
12 Switch closure inputs These are provided
on the iDR-switch. They can be hard wired from
remote wall plate and controller switches and
relays.
13 Open collector logic outputs These are
provided on the iDR-switch. They can be used to
control LEDs, lamps, relays and other devices.
14 Earth terminals These are provided to earth
(ground) the switch and logic output cable
shields.
Use null-modem cable to connect to PC com port
