System report on Studio Max doesnt show the OWC hub. Studio Max-> (master port) Caldigit elements hub -> one of the 3 caldigit elements thunderbolt ports (master port OWC TB hub) (master port) Caldigit elements hub -> one of the 3 caldigit elements thunderbolt ports one of the 3 OWC TB ports TB hub <- (master port OWC TB hub) <-nothing connected On the system report, both hubs are reported. Studio Max-> (master port) Caldigit elements hub -> one of the 3 caldigit elements thunderbolt ports one of the 3 OWC TB ports TB hub one of the 3 OWC TB ports TB hub (master port) Caldigit elements hub -> one of the 3 caldigit elements thunderbolt ports (master port) Caldigit elements hub -> one of the 3 caldigit elements thunderbolt ports - (master port OWC TB hub) works. The hub has one connection to the host (master) and 3 connections to peripherials. I realized my first message was not clear how I plugged into the hubs. M1 mac mini -> OWC TB hub caldigits element TB hub caldigits element TB hub another (noname) TB hub caldigits element Tb hub <-Studio Max Has anyone else tried to use the OWC thunderbolt hub to connect to another mac? BTW, since the other Studio Max is not recognized, I cant share internet, share files, use IP, so it is broader than just IP over thunderbolt. So I conclude that there must be a problem with the firmware or chip used by OWC not to support the complete TB3 protocols including IP over TB. The different hub shows a connection with the Studio Max via the caldigit elements. 2) replace the OWC hub with a different hub. System report shows a connection to the Studio Max.
I can get the connection to be recognized with the same setup and cables if I 1) bypass the OWC and connect direct to the M1 Mac mini. I know it is not cables, as I tried different (good) cables. I go to System report, Thunderbolt/USB4 and I see the OWC as a hub, but the port shows no device active.
With the OWC TB hub, the connection with the studio max is not recognized. So I connect with a TB cable from the OWC TB hub to a Caldigit elements hub connected to my Studio Max. I now want to connect it to my Studio Max so I can run thunderbolt IP between the 2 macs. I test the hub by connecting a NVME external enclosure. I connect my M1 mac mini to the OWC TB hub. I am trying to use it to expand the TB ports on my M1 Mac mini (2020). I just purchased the OWC thunderbolt 4 hub that was on sale for $99.
