Board configured in backup mode: LED off.
'SPD' green LED: indicates 1Gbps speed on primary link.
'LINK ACTIVITY' green LED: indicates active primary
ethernet link.
'LAN 1' RJ45 type connector *: connects module to Dante
primary network.
'LAN 2' RJ45 type connector *: connects module to Dante
secondary network.
'SPD' green LED: indicates 1Gbps speed on secondary link.
'LINK ACTIVITY' green LED: indicates active secondary
ethernet link.
*LAN 1 must always be wired, while LAN 2 is only used when
the system is wired in “Daisy Chain” mode (to primary
