Processing on a NION will pause during project deployment Therefore a NION that is a Conductor will stop being the Conductor for a time The network will then automatically transition to a new Conductor Conductor transitions will cause momentary audio dropouts It may therefore be desirable to designate a non NION device to be the CobraNet Conductor Additionally if using XDAB clock disruption caused by a change of Conductor may often cause the NION cluster to re sync re arbitrate the XDAB clock and will result in a dropout of several seconds Use cases Scenario 1 Basic network In this scenario there are no XDAB interconnections between NIONS no VLANs defined no outboard audio connections either analog or digital between NIONS There is only one audio clock domain in this scenario established by CobraNet and no special Conductor topology or XDAB usage considerations apply June 11 2012 Version 1 6 4b 1 53 Chapter 6 Using XDAB clusters with VLANs and CobraNet Scenario 2 Network using VLAN X vean 1 1 VLAN 2 In this scenario port based VLANs have been configured within a managed switch There will be no audio passed either externally or via CobraNet between devices residing on different VLANs Audio is only exchanged via CobraNet between NIONS that reside on the same VLAN One device on each VLAN must be a CobraNet Conductor for that VLAN i e each VLAN has its own Conducto

12. RJ 45 used in CAT 5 cabling originates with AT amp T it is functionally different for configuring Ethernet cabling The Bell System uses a series of colors to identify wire pairs This color scheme identifies the pair numbers and conductor polarity and applies to the wire not the connector It is important to know what pairs are which and the function of the pins on the RJ 45 connector The colors are BLUE ORANGE GREEN and BROWN for the first four pairs Pin 8 Pin I gt l i Brown Pair Orange Pair e We Green Pair Sq E een Pair Yue D Blue l unt mmm SC Sg A Palr air Brown Pair Pin Pin 8 What is often confusing is that the pair numbers do not line up with the pin numbers on the 8P8C modular connector RJ 45 connector In other words conductor one of the cable White w Blue Strip is not terminated to pin one of the connector The AT amp T connecting standard always uses the middle pins for the first pair After that they are staggered around primarily to prevent crosstalk between adjacent pairs For Ethernet only the ORANGE and GREEN pairs are actually used Orange Ps For Ethernet the BLUE and BROWN pairs are not used except in some implementations of Power over Ethernet PoE Notes A single CAT 5 cable run must not exceed 100 meters Make sure your connector matches your cable type If you are not sure use the bent tine variety When terminating CAT 5 cable it is important that the
