MOTU AVB Switch
1. Use these 1 gigabit AVB NETWORK ports to connect any of the following:
■
MOTU AVB interfaces (1248, 8M and 16A)
■
Another MOTU AVB Switch (to extend the network)
■
A 3rd-party AVB switch
■
An Ethernet device, Wi-Fi router or Ethernet network
■
A third-party AVB device
2. This standard Ethernet port can be used to connect a standard 10/100/1Gb Ethernet
device, Wi-Fi router or Ethernet network. DO NOT connect AVB devices to this port; it does
not support AVB.
3. Connect the included 15V DC power supply here. Alternately, you can use any power
supply that conforms to the indicated specifications.
4. The front panel LEDs indicate signal activity for each port. When a 1 gigabit device is
connected to a port , the 1 Gb LED illuminates.
NOTE: When making network connections, use shielded CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables (a higher
grade cable). For local connections, patch cables can be used, but will reduce the maximum
total cable run length.
The MOTU AVB Switch provides deep functionality that goes beyond
a standard Ethernet switch.
■
No configuration is necessary. The switch configures itself and manages all device
discovery, configuration, and system resource allocation.
■
The switch establishes and maintains extremely accurate timing and synchronization
among all connected devices.
■
The switch negotiates audio routing throughout the network and guarantees that audio
integrity is maintained, regardless of external (non AVB) network traffic.
■
The switch consolidates audio, synchronization, and control together.
For more information, see chapter 9, “Networking” (page 75).
