If you have *any* controllers that are *not* G3, you will need to split the display into two networks.

 

When you add a second USB, you are adding a second network. You would need to go into your sequences and adjust the controllers that are on the new network to be on AuxA (or the network of your choosing.) You would then use the Network Preferences to set your COM ports for each USB.

 

Word of warning: Once you have things set up correctly, never ever (ever) answer "yes" when the Hardware Utility asks you, "Is this the COM port to be used for shows?" If you say yes, you will erase your network configurations.
