In the KP 812, the RVON-1 card connects to the KP 812 by way of the J2 connector on the RVON, attached to J37 on the KP
812 header.
3. Connect the RJ-45 extension connector cable to the RVON-1 board.
RVON-1 Relay
When connected to an Ethernet LAN, audio comes from the RVON-1 card; and, when Ethernet is not plugged in, the audio
comes from the AIO connection. Note, the user does not need to remove the RVON-1 to switch to AIO mode.
WARNING: You cannot have both an Ethernet connection and an AIO connection simultaneously. If the Ethernet and
AIO are connected simultaneously, no audio communication will occur.
Addresses and the RVON-1
Because the RVON-1 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) Address. This is a low
level address that contains 48 bits. Do NOT confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. In order to be IP
compliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufacturer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of
hardware, such as the RVON-1 card, has a fixed or static address. Where as the RVON-1 card’s IP Address can change over
time.
The MAC Address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media. The RVON-1
card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board that the processor can read the unique MAC Address from. For more
information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
NOTE: Each RVON-1 card needs to be programmed with its own IP Address.
