Configuring Multiple Devices with Ethernet

You can connect multiple devices in the following ways:
  • Multiple Ethernet interfaces—One device for each interface
  • Single Ethernet interface—One device connected to the interface, with additional devices connected using an optional MIMO cable
  • Single Ethernet interface—Multiple devices connected to an unmanaged switch
Tip Sharing a single gigabit Ethernet interface among devices may reduce overall signal throughput. For maximum signal throughput, NI recommends that you connect no more than one device per Ethernet interface.
