Step 1 Physical Setup

EtherSound networks may be configured in the following topologies.

Daisy Chain

Devices are simpl

y connected in a single line.

EtherSound Topologies

Ring

The ring topology may be considered a variant of the daisy chain created by connecting the

first and last devices together. Connecting devices in a ring topology makes it possible to

make the system tolerant to cable faults.

Tree

Standard Ethernet switches can be used to create Tree topology. However, when using

such topologies, branches below the switch must be unidirectional. (See the side notes on

Tree Topology).
