Net P Status LED
Multicolour LED. Illuminates in Switched mode or Redundant mode:
-
Green (Solid) – Primary Link active (DHCP)
-
Blue (Solid) – Primary Link active (Static IP)
-
Off – No network connection
-
-
Sync P Status LED
Multicolour LED. Illuminates in Switched mode or Redundant mode:
-
Blue (Solid) – Confirms device is a Dante PTP leader; it's set (via Dante Controller) to generate the Dante clock which will be used by other units.
-
Green (Solid) – Confirms device is a Dante PTP follower; it syncs to the clock embedded in the incoming Dante bitstream.
-
Red (solid) – No PTP sync.
-
-
Net S Status LED
Multicolour LED:
-
Green (Solid) – Secondary Link active (DHCP)
-
Blue (Solid) – Secondary Link active (Static IP)
-
Off – No network connection
-
Purple (Solid) – Indicates RedNet TNX is in Switched mode
-
-
Sync S Status LED
Multicolour LED. Illuminates in Redundant mode only:
-
Blue (Solid) – Confirms device is a Dante PTP leader; it's set (via Dante Controller) to generate the Dante clock which will be used by other units.
-
Green (Solid) – Confirms device is a Dante PTP follower; it syncs to the clock embedded in the incoming Dante bitstream.
-
Off – No network connection
-
Purple (Solid) – Indicates RedNet TNX is in Switched mode
-
-
Reset Switch
Clears current configuration (Name, IP config, etc.). Press and hold for seven seconds to return the RedNet TNX to its default state with the DHCP setting.
When pressed, the front panel LEDs will illuminate in sequence at one-second intervals. All LEDs will then flash for a further three seconds, after which the RedNet TNX resets.
-
Primary Network Port
RJ45 connector for the Dante network. Use shielded Cat 5e or better network cables to connect the RedNet TNX to the Ethernet network switch.
Adjacent to both network sockets are LEDs which illuminate to indicate a valid network connection and network activity.
-
Secondary Network Port
Secondary Dante network connection where two independent Ethernet links are being used (Redundant mode), or an additional port on an integral network switch on the primary network (Switched mode). The operating mode is set via Dante Controller.
The Dante network can be viewed or controlled via either port.
The RedNet TNX's front features a perforated panel for ventilation. Also, visible is a low-speed, low-noise fan.
Note
The maximum operating environmental temperature is 50°C (122°F).
Ensure the front panel is not obstructed to allow for ventilation.
On the bottom of the RedNet TNX there are four exposed screw threads so you can bolt your device to a surface such as a rack draw or cradle.
To mount your RedNet TNX you need four M5 x 12mm screws. We don't provide or sell these screws but you can buy them from most hardware stores:
