Networking connections
You can connect the Matrox Supersight unit to your local area network (LAN).
To do so, connect a network cable to one of the two Gbit Ethernet connectors on
the bracket of the SHB.
Matrox Supersight can gain access to a LAN via Gbit Ethernet (1000 BaseT), Fast
Ethernet (100BaseT), or Twisted Pair Ethernet (10BaseT) through the two Gbit
Ethernet connectors.
If you plan to use Gbit Ethernet, use a Category 5e (CAT5e) cable. If you plan to
use Fast Ethernet, use a Twisted Pair Category 5 (UTP5) cable. If you plan to use
Twisted Pair Ethernet, use a UTP5 or UTP3 cable
