Network Connection
The 8301 provides a RJ45 jack for network connection. A cable run from the switch can be terminated to a modular
jack with connection by patch cord or terminated with a RJ45 plug.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) must be 48 V 350 mA IEEE 802.3af compliant whether provided by the network switch or
injector.
There are two lights on the Ethernet jack:
Green light: On when Ethernet is working, flickers off to indicate activity on the port.
Amber light: Off when successful 100Mbps link is established. Typically, on only briefly at power up. (Exception: the
amber LED behaviour will be reversed on “Rls 1” hardware)
Under normal conditions, the Amber light will turn on immediately after the Ethernet cable is first connected. This
indicates that PoE power has been successfully applied. Once the device connects to the network, it will switch to the
Green light instead, which will typically flicker indicating traffic on the network.
AUX IN 3.5 mm Jack (Front)
Analog line level input from a smartphone or similar device for music input. Non-isolated.
AUX OUT 3.5 mm Jack (Front)
Analog line level output for compatible PC speakers or headset. Non-isolated.
LINE IN XLR-MINI (Back)
Balanced and isolated audio (Page or music) input can be configured for pass-through to Line Out (when paging is
idle), and/or for broadcast via multicast.
Line OUT XLR-MINI (Back)
Balanced and isolated audio output to external amplifier. Locking mini-XLR female to standard XLR male cable
available. Output level defined using web interface.
Terminal Block Line In
Balanced and isolated wire pair input parallel to XLR-MINI LINE IN (polarity independent).
Terminal Block Line Out
Balanced and isolated wire pair output parallel to XLR-MINI LINE OUT (polarity independent).
Terminal Block Relay In
By default, these terminals are inactive. Connection options are a normally closed switch, normally open switch, 1202
Call Button, 1203 Call Switch, 1204 Volume Control Switch, 1205 Audio Interface or EOL resistor termination.
