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.
Figure 5-2: Web app control through a simple Ethernet cable.
Ethernet hub or network (LAN)
In this scenario, both your laptop and your MOTU
device are connected to a standard Ethernet hub
or home/office network (LAN). You can run the
web app on multiple computers simultaneously.

When using standard Wi-Fi as shown, you can
control the 828es from multiple Wi-Fi devices
simultaneously.
