The newer stuff uses AVBDEC where the RM32ai uses AVB. I have not see a guide for how to run AVB with a Mac which certainly seemed advertised to be a working solution in the connection guide:
https://pae-web.presonusmusic.com/downloads/products/pdf/PreSonus_StudioLive_RM_Applications1.pdf
see page 16, AVB 802.1 Cascaded AVB Recording coming 2015.
Near this page is information about the Dante support and issues with vlans and multicast packets.
I am also in need of a manual for how to configure AVB with the rm32ai or rm16ai in my case.
I did try to connect my Mac via a crossover and did a sudo tcpdump -I en0 at the terminal and saw:
Maybe this is some type of beaconing AVB == help? I am kinda lost from here
