VNET is a cutting edge digital signal processing, network control and Class D amplifier platform deployed by Tannoy for monitoring and controlling some of its key professional/commercial sound reinforcement products. Products in the VNET family include QFlex and VXNET. VNET uses Cat5 cabling to attach to devices using a simple cabling scheme without requiring any other network equipment such as hubs. The total span of the network may be at least 1 km without repeaters. There is no maximum length for a single span within this limit.
Manufactured in the United Kingdom
NOTE: External power is required if PoE is not available. Use only approved supplies.

What is the VNET to Ethernet Interface for?
Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet was commercially introduced in 1980 and standardized in 1985 as IEEE 802.3. Ethernet has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies. When using the product with a network of VNET equipped devices, they can be controlled and monitored via an Ethernet connection from your PC.
Features • Ethernet control for VNET products • No drivers to install • Direct PC connection or via Switch • Automatic IP addressing • Go Wireless by adding a Router • Rugged steel enclosure • Free-standing or rack-mount options • Self-powered using Power Over Ethernet (PoE) • Capable of driving 1 km of VNET network cable • Optionally powered by companion PSU • No special cables
How is this Interface used? This product allows your Personal Computer access to a network of VNET enabled devices for control and monitoring them. It is connected to your computer or to your network via Ethernet. The three primary ways of connecting your computer to this product are: 1. Direct one to one connection (using auto IP) 2. Through a switch router or hub 3. Through a DHCP router with 802.11g/n for wireless connection Housed in a convenient, rugged steel case, it can be used free-standing or, using the rack-mount kit, may be racked along with up to two additional accessory products in 1U rack-space.
Computer System Requirements Minimum requirements: • PC with > 2 GHz processor • >2 GB RAM • 32-bit or 64-bit Windows tm operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8). • CD-ROM drive or Internet access • Ethernet connection

VNET to Ethernet Interface
Installation Because the Ethernet interface uses Ethernet, no installation of drivers is necessary. However, you will need to check the network settings on your PC, and install the PodWare application in order to control and monitor VNET devices.
External Power Supply This product may be powered from a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet switch. If such a switch is not available, provision is made to power the unit from an external VNet interface power supply. This can power either one or two compatible accessories. Either the A or the B output on the Power supply may be used since these are identical.
Accessory Racking Kit The Ethernet Interface may be used free-standing or 19” rack mounted using the optional rack mounting kit. This kit comprises of a panel which can accommodate up to three accessories (the Accessory Power Supply being another example) in 1U of rack space. Unused positions are neatly blanked-off. The supplied brackets make the process of mounting the accessories quick and easy.
