SETUP FOR TWO INTERFACES

OR
Use this setup if you want to connect two MOTU
interfaces to your computer.
The connection to the computer should be
■
Thunderbolt, if possible, to support all the I/O for
the networked interfaces.
Use a standard Thunderbolt cable. Place it at the
■
end of the Thunderbolt chain.
Use any standard CAT-5e Ethernet network
■
cable to connect the two interfaces together using
their NETWORK ports.
As an alternative, see "Setup for multiple
■
Thunderbolt and USB interfaces" on page 39.
About CAT-5e cables
Use shielded CAT-5e or
CAT-6 cables, which are a
higher grade version of a
standard Ethernet patch
cable. They are available
wherever network cables
are sold.
