The pinout for the expansion panel cable RJ45 connector is given below:
Figure 4-23: Expansion panel connector pinout
The CAT5 cables used to connect V Series main panels to expansion panels and
expansion panels to further expansion panels are wired as straight through and
the same signals are present along the daisy chain.
Each cable connecting a V Series main panel to an expansion panel or an
expansion panel to another expansion panel must not exceed 5 meters in
length, and the total length of any expansion panel daisy chain must not
exceed 7.5metres in length.
Note: If power is removed from an expansion panel within a chain that panel and all
expansion panels after it in the chain will no longer work.
Note: For connections to V12LDE (regulatory model UP160), a ferrite core must be
added to the socket end of CAT5 cable. A suitable ferrite core is Fair-rite part:
0431164951.

IP connection to matrix
All V-Series panels have a built-in Ethernet/IP interface which can support
multiple independent audio channels to an HX Omega, HX Median or HX Delta
via an IVC-32 matrix card. When you add a V-Series panel in the EHX
Configuration Software, you are prompted to choose the number of additional
IP channels that you require, see 4.3.1 Adding one extra IP channel.
According to your choice, the EHX software automatically provides the V-Series
audio mixer with default settings to make configuration as simple and fast as
possible. The default mixer settings reflect the typical user scenarios, but you
can also manually adjust the mixer settings in the EHX software to customize
your system, or for more advanced requirements. See 4.3.4 Advanced multi
This section describes how to implement more than one audio channel via the
Ethernet/IP connection. The extra audio channels are typically used to connect
to:
A CCI-22 Interface Module for matrix to 2-wire partyline connections.
