2.3.5. Ethernet port
The matrix can be remote controlled via Ethernet as well. The matrix 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.
The recommended termination is based on TIA/EIA T 568 A or TIA/EIA T 568 B standards.
