Of course, the AL-USB can exchange MIDI flows with any other AL-22, AL-88, ALeX and
MS-4 (Peer to peer functionality) or any other product supporting CopperLan.
AL-USB are supplied ready to use, the actual linking is managed via the CopperLan
Manager software. This freeware tool is also used to monitor the status of all CopperLan
computers and equipment. The box can be controlled from any computer anywhere in the
network.

required by the USB standard.
