Using the LAN Port 

An Ethernet cable may connect to the waterproof jack on the external LAN port of the MCD-4801. 
Twist off the weather cap and connect a standard Ethernet cable. The MCD-4801 is normally set to 
DHCP (Dynamic Routing), which means it will automatically issue an IP address to any computer 
that connects to it. The LAN Port does provide POE (Power Over Ethernet) for devices that require 
this feature. 
 
A standard Ethernet cable is all that is needed. A crossover cable is not required.
