Avid S6 Installation Guide58
Connecting Ethernet
All Master Modules (original and newer) require two Ethernet connections.
To make Ethernet connections to the Master Module:
1 Connect the longest available Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the side of the module (see Figure 38).
2 After connecting Ethernet to the primary (side) Ethernet port of the Master Module, do either of the following (see Figure 39):
• Recommended: If you are not connecting S6 to an existing DHCP Server on your network (and/or if connecting the S6 switch
directly to one or more workstations) connect the second chassis Ethernet cable to Ethernet port
2 (right) on the back panel
of the Master Module.
• Alternatively for advanced users, if you are connecting S6 to an existing DHCP Server on your network connect the second
chassis Ethernet cable to Ethernet port
1 (left) on the back panel of the Master Module.
If you are unsure of whether you have a DHCP server on your network, consult your IT department.
3 If you plan on using Talkback, connect an XLR cable (90-degree jack recommended) to the XLR THRU port on the back of the
Master Module and route it through the opening in the Back Tie Plate. Guide it to the far-left or right corner and down through
the opening between the Side Cover and chassis.
Figure 38. Master Module side panel Ethernet port
Only connect chassis Ethernet to one of the two Ethernet ports on the back (in addition to the primary module connection on the
side panel). The Master Module supports two Ethernet connections, total, but one must be to the primary side panel port.
