AUX Input
: Local audio may be input via the
rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to both Audio Out channels
when Audio Out is idle. This is typically
used for background music.
Rear View
Networked Channels:
Access to the networked
audio output, audio input, contact closure input and
relay closure output is provided via four rear panel
RJ-45 connectors. Provided with the
VE8004A/VE8004AR are four RJ-45 patch cables
and four VM-186 RJ-45 Connectors. Signals
connections are made by connecting one end of a
patch cable to the VE8004A/VE8004AR and the
other to the VM-186 connector. Access to the
signals is via screw terminal connections or 110-
style punchdown block on the VM-186 (see Figure
2). Signals are present on pairs of pins as shown
in Figure 2.
