[QUOTE="Tom Bourke, post: 90727, member: 4342"] Re: Combining many devices on one network First it is important to understand that just because it has an RJ45 does not mean it is a TCP/IP computer network type connection. Personally I have seen that connector (and variants of it) used as network, several serial data configurations, power supply, audio, contact closure, and a few combination there of. I have even seen a laptop burned up when some one plunged a serial with power combo into the network port. Even if it is a TCP/IP connection there may be reasons not to share it with other devices. Art-net and some digital snake data streams come to mind. A network switch that can understand vlans can help but may be more expensive than just running a separate network cable. Having said all that, if the data types are compatible and the total bandwidth is not too high I would be fine combining all my show data on one network. [/QUOTE]
