SETUP FOR WEB APP CONTROL
The MOTU AVB Control web app gives you access
to all settings, routing, mixing, and effects
processing in your audio interface, and each
interface on the AVB network, if applicable. For
more info, see “MOTU AVB Control Web App” on
page 15.
The web app is a web application served by the
hardware. All you need to run it is a web browser
running on a device that has a connection to your
audio interface through USB or the network port.
Figure 4-1: The web app is served from the hardware, and accessed
through any web browser on any device connected to the interface.
Web app control can be set up independently
of audio connections
The connections in this section, especially the
network scenarios, can be set up independently of
USB or AVB networking connections you make for
audio routing (as shown in the setup diagrams
earlier in this chapter). In addition, connections
for web app control can be made over standard
Ethernet and do not require AVB Ethernet
connections. Think of web app control as being
separate from audio. Doing so opens up a lot of
possibilities for control of your MOTU interface,
independent of the connections you make for
audio.
Mixing and matching web app control
scenarios
The web app connection scenarios shown in the
following sections are not exclusive from one
another. You can set up as many web app
connections as you wish and control your MOTU
device from many web app hosts simultaneously.
Launching the web app
Once you’ve made any of the connections shown in
the following sections, launch the web app as
explained in “Make hardware and network
connections” on page 15.
Web app control over USB or Thunderbolt
If your audio interface is connected a computer
with internet access through USB (as shown on
page 33), you can access the web app from the
computer, or any other device on the network. In
this case, make sure you’ve run the software
installer (page 31), which installs drivers that allow
your computer to properly communicate with the
device.
Web app control through standard Ethernet
Your MOTU interface can also be controlled by the
web app running on any device that has a standard
Ethernet connection to the interface, either directly
with a network cable, through an Ethernet hub, or
through WiFi on your local network. The sections
on the opposite page show you how to set up each
of these connection scenarios.
