RJ45 connectors allow of a steady and reliable connection to the EtherSound
network. The “IN” port receives the descending EtherSound stream (‘downstream’, coming from the ‘Primary
Master’) while the “OUT” port receives the ascending EtherSound stream (‘upstream’) and transmits it to the
“IN” port; for more details on the concepts of ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ please refer to the document
