of your host computer.
Managing the IDs of multiple interfaces (Mac
OS 9 only)
Multiple 828mkII interfaces are identified by
number (#1, #2, #3, etc.) Interfaces are ID'd (given
a number) by the order in which they are first
powered up after being connected. This
information is stored in the MOTU FireWire Audio
preferences file. Once ID'd, they retain the same
number regardless of the order in which they are
34
powered up. You can disable an interface at any
time with the Disable interface option shown in
Figure 3-21 on page 32. Doing so frees up the
FireWire bandwidth required by the interface
without turning it off. Switching off an interface
accomplishes the same thing. To get the MOTU
FireWire Audio Control Panel Console to forget
about an interface entirely, you'll see a Forget
button in the MOTU FireWire Audio Console. Just
click the Forget button and the MOTU FireWire
Audio Console will no longer consider the
interface to be present but off line (turned off).
