> [!WARNING]
> **StudioEdge** and **StudioCore** use the same chassis; however, StudioCore has a **second** DSP for the console engine that is not included on StudioEdge devices **The Secondary / WAN port is only availble to units badged as StudioCore on the front panel** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-67UW7NC3.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A37%3A11Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A37%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5uOZ6jO%2BQo4mmEiW4r4SRil%2FtggOExguU%2BNVd1Vulo8%3D) or on the model ID sticker on the back. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/image-P997RHBE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A37%3A11Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A37%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5uOZ6jO%2BQo4mmEiW4r4SRil%2FtggOExguU%2BNVd1Vulo8%3D)

## Description

This Secondary / WAN port is designed as an additional connection to Studio Core's “Console” (or DSP). It can be used for configuration, programming, and CoreSoft access that is **not on** the multicast network, such as a business network that may have access to the Internet or a corporate VPN.

No multicast audio can be contributed over this connection, but it can be used by the “LISTEN” options available to the Monitor and Headphone sections of CoreSoft. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/2025-03-24_17-31-50.gif?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T09%3A37%3A11Z&se=2026-10-28T10%3A37%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5uOZ6jO%2BQo4mmEiW4r4SRil%2FtggOExguU%2BNVd1Vulo8%3D)
