Network Mode

The network mode defines how the different network interfaces on the device shall be used.
  • Single cable mode
    • When a device is set to Single cable mode, the secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port, allowing daisy-chaining through the device.
  • Split mode
    • When a device is set to Split mode, the first Ethernet port will be used to control and configure the device via the network. The secondary Ethernet port will be used for the output of digital audio.
After changing this setting, the device will restart automatically.
