VOCIA 8-CHANNEL LIVE AUDIO INPUT DEVICE (VI-8) REAR PANEL
Network
The VI-8 is designed to be used in a single Vocia World and utilizes the Vocia CobraNet LAN to communicate with the rest of the Vocia system.
The unit has two monitored RJ45 Ethernet network connectors that allow a redundant connection to be utilized if required. The primary connection
will always have priority over the secondary connection. Monitoring of the secondary connection can be disabled in Vocia software.
The RJ45 connectors use two LEDs to indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table below).
