6.2 Controlling via ETHERNET

You can connect the RC-160 via the Ethernet, using a crossover cable (see
section 6.2.1) for direct connection to the PC or a straight through cable (see
section 6.2.2) for connection via a network hub or network router.
6.2.1

Connecting the ETHERNET Port directly to a PC (Crossover Cable)

You can connect the Ethernet port of the RC-160 to the Ethernet port on your
