Does the Receptor have a built-in Gigabit ethernet interface?
Do I still need software like FX-Teleport to load programs and transfer audio over the network? Can the Receptor(s) access files on a server (that is using RAID arrays)?

Yes, T-Base 100 as standard.
No, it comes with a Remote application so you don't need anything else.
The access to volumes other than the main hard drive is a bit complicated right now. Because you have Samba running, you could set it up to mount another volume, but that means you're competent enough to modify the system/parameters.

You're right, I replied too quickly.

Depends how much 'all that' comes to.chicoine wrote: Is 100-base T wide enough for all that audio stuff?
The bitrate of 100-base T is 100Mb/s (but lets call it 80Mb/s after communication overheads)
The bitrate of CD quality audio is approx 1.3Mb/s (44KHz * 16bit * 2tracks)
Thus you could theoretically expect to shove 50-60 stereo CD quality tracks across 100-baseT.(*)
That would drop to about 25-30 stereo tracks of VST track data, I'd say, because the wordsize is 32bit. Of course if you're sending a track, processing it, and receiving it back, it halves again because the data has to travel in two directions.
So I'd say you could probably send 16 stereo tracks (at 44kHz) to a remote system, have them processed and sent back, using a direct crossover cable.
(*) Unless Ive f**ked up my math.

Each Receptor is its own network node, no confusion - just be sure to name them differently. There may be a couple of clock cycls additional latency for a second unit, but at 2G clock speed, you can't possibly hear it.
