Ethernet Ports
Lightware matrix routers 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
