What happens if you plug an AudioRail component into a local area network, or vice versa?
First of all, the electrical signals and pin to pin connections are the same. You will do no damage, electrically or physically, by doing so. It is the protocols, that is, the format of the data and the way it is packaged and transferred, that are mutually incompatible. Plugging an AudioRail component into a local area computer network will cause the local area network to stop working for as long as the AudioRail component is plugged into it. AudioRail will essentially hog all the bandwidth of the local area network with its unending TDM stream, preventing any of the local area network components from successfully transferring any information. The local area network will resume normal operation as soon as the AudioRail component is removed. Plugging a local area network or any LAN component into AudioRail will corrupt the AudioRail stream for as long as it is plugged in. The LAN components will repeatedly try to transmit packets into the AudioRail system, corrupting it. It is possible
