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.
