The cable that you use depends on your network speed. The switcher supports
both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet),
half-duplex and full-duplex, Ethernet connections.
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
•
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

how to install and use the control software.
NOTE: The switcher can support either an RS-232 or RS-422 serial
communication protocol, and operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud
rates (see
page 36 to configure the RS232/RS422 port from the front panel).
If desired, connect an MKP 2000 or MKP 3000 remote control panel to the switcher
Remote RS232/RS422 connector (see the MKP 2000 Remote Control Panel User's
Manual and the MKP 3000 User's Manual for details).
