Can the FC-101NET receive audio from Dante over a single Ethernet cable?
A: Yes — the FC-101NET accepts Dante audio on its RJ-45 Dante port and presents two Dante channels as audio inputs.
Will this unit operate when powered from a PoE switch?
A: Yes — the FC-101NET is a PoE acceptor and is powered over Ethernet from any standard PoE-providing network switch.
Can I control the FC-101NET from a serial controller?
A: Yes — you can control it over RS-232 using ASCII commands at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
What front-panel LEDs indicate device and Dante status?
A: The ON LED shows power, the SYS LED lights green when a Dante network is available (red for error), and the SYNC LED lights green for normal digital audio operation (red for error).
Does the FC-101NET support AES67 and what sampling rates are available?
A: Yes — it supports AES67 interoperability and selectable sampling rates up to 96 kHz.
How do I reset the FC-101NET or restore factory defaults?
A: Press and release the DEF button to reboot; press and hold the DEF button for 30 seconds to reset to factory settings.
Can I adjust output level on the FC-101NET?
A: Yes — the unit provides output volume control for its outputs.
What mounting and placement options are documented for the FC-101NET?
A: You can attach it with the included double-sided adhesive dual-lock tape, fasten the included brackets to a flat surface, or mount it in a rack with the optional RK-4PT rack adapter.
Will the FC-101NET work with amplifiers or powered speakers on a Dante network?
A: Yes — the FC-101NET decodes Dante audio to balanced line-level outputs so you can connect non‑Dante amplifiers or powered speakers to a Dante network.
How will I know the device has power and network connectivity after installation?
A: The ON LED lights green when the device has power, and the SYS LED lights green when a Dante network is available; red on either LED indicates an error state.
Is there any cooling or ventilation required for normal use?
A: No active cooling is required — the FC-101NET uses convection ventilation for cooling.
What are the unit's compact dimensions and weight for planning placement?
A: The FC-101NET measures about 2.45" x 2.04" x 0.96" (W x D x H) and weighs approximately 0.20 pounds.
