HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Ethernet cable
A simple Ethernet cable connection can be used for
web app control, even without a USB or
Thunderbolt connection to your computer. For
example, if you are using your MOTU device as a
mixer or audio router, you could control the
on-board routing, mixing and effects from the web
app through a standard Ethernet connection.
Figure 4-2: Web app control through a simple Ethernet cable.
Ethernet hub or network (LAN)
In this scenario, both your laptop and your MOTU
device are connected to a standard Ethernet hub or
home/office network (LAN). You can run the web
app on multiple computers simultaneously.
Figure 4-3: Web app control through a standard Ethernet hub or
network (LAN).
WiFi
When using standard WiFi as shown, you can
control your MOTU interface from multiple WiFi
devices simultaneously.
Figure 4-4: Web app control through WiFi.
Ethernet network + WiFi
You can, of course, combine the setups shown in
Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4, with WiFi connected to
the Ethernet hub or network.
MOTU AVB Switch
The MOTU AVB Switch provides five AVB
Ethernet ports, plus one standard Ethernet port.
Use the AVB ports for MOTU audio interfaces, and
use the Ethernet port for WiFi, Ethernet, etc.
