Hello all!

I am considering upgrading from my RM32ai to the newer 32R hardware.  I have been controlling my RM32 in a live PA situation using the ethernet port and running a long CAT5 cable out to front of house where I just use UC Surface and not a hardware mixer.  The RM32 has the ethernet port and also Firewire and the 32R has moved to USB vs. Firewire.  I know that I could connect my laptop to the 32R via the USB port but with limitations on USB cable lengths, I wanted to see if the the Audio Network port would work for my use case and allow a hard connection with CAT5.  I would use the ethernet port to run to a router for wireless connection but I also want the hard connection in parallel.

The network audio port is only for AVB audio transmission BUT the control port (also ethernet) can be used to control the 32R with UC Surface.
