The Line In sockets on the computer ports and the Line Out socket on the user console are dual purpose. They can accept either
3.5mm analog jacks or mini- TOSLINK optical fiber connectors. The latter provide access to the optical S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital
InterFace) capabilities supported by the Freedom II system, which switches PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio at 96KHz.

Each computer system is connected to the Freedom II unit using (up to) two cables. Freedom II switches support USB 2.0 (incl. USB
1.1) connections.
TO CONNECT A COMPUTER SYSTEM

2. Use a USB cable (type-A to type-B) to link a USB port on the computer system to the USB port of the required channel on the rear
of the unit. See Figure 3-4.
