Master/slave mode

In this scenario, two CAB 8ns are connected to the CobraNet network and also connected together via the rear Fault IO connectors to provide a redundant system.

If a fault occurs on the master CAB, the slave will automatically take over and allow audio to continue to flow through the system.

The amplifier is wired to both CABs, so that when a switchover is made from the active to the standby unit, the interruption in audio output from the speakers is minimized.

The Fault connector on the rear of the CABs is wired up as follows: the Failout pin on the master unit is connected to the failin pin of the slave. The Failout pin of the slave is not connected.

Note: Do not connect the Failout pin of the slave to the master unit, as this will cause oscillations between the two units.
