3.7.6. Ethernet port
Lightware modular matrices can be remote controlled through Ethernet as well. The
Ethernet port can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router with a UTP patch cable. If
connecting to a computer directly, a cross UTP cable has to be used!
The robust Neutrik EtherCON connector ensures reliable connection, however normal
RJ45 connectors can be used as well.
See section 5.5 about remote operation on page 60 for more information.
