I also thought it would work as well since it has (2) gigabit ethernet ports. Im trying to connect this presonus digital mixer to my mac pro but it doesn't seem to want to connect. And I've tried doing everything both Apple's and Presonus's guides say to do to set up this AVB device. But reading it again, it does say on the Presonus guide:
".....Any Mac with a Thunderbolt connection should provide hardware support for AVB.
"
but then goes on to say:
"If your computer does not have a built-in Ethernet port, you will also need a
Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter. USB-to-Ethernet adapters do not support AVB."
Which makes me think "well I have two ethernet ports, so it should connect." So I'm guessing since my Mac Pro doesn't have a thunderbolt port (only mini display ports) then that's probably why it isn't able to enable AVB.
But then I
read in a statement from Presonus stating that this mixer hasn't been able to connect to a Macs using High Sierra. And that the best Mac OS to use with this mixer is Yosemite or El Capitan. So I decided to downgrade. But guess what? Yosemite isn't available for download from the app store and the app store won't let me download El Capitan because I'm on a newer OS. And it's not in my purchase history for download because I upgraded straight to High Sierra from Snow Leopard. Just my luck.
