In multicast mode, the Operation Mode for both Sender and Receiver units are
automatically set to Active per request mode.
Under Active per request mode, multiple USB devices may be present on one or more
Receiver units. However, only one Receiver unit can have USB control at a time.
By default, the rst Receiver unit connected to the system will have USB control.
In the example, below, Receiver unit R2 currently has control (we arbitrarily connected
Receiver unit R2 before Receiver unit R1).
Figure 2.10 - Receiver unit R2 currently has USB control.
Now, let’s look at an example of switching USB control between two Receiver units. Using
the diagram, above, we want Receiver unit R1 to have USB control. To assign USB control
to another Receiver unit, follow the steps on the next page.
