Ethernet Link
The Ethernet link can be made on two ways. First with an Ethernet cross-over cable and sec-
ond with two standard Ethernet patch cables and a hub or switch. In both cases an Ethernet
LAN interface for your host PC is required. When using a hub or switch please connect it
between the host PC and the IGW/920 like shown fig. 3.

Note: For the Ethernet connection in fig. 2 it is absolutely required to use a
cross-over cable. Do not use an ordinary patch cable. Ethernet patch and cross-over
cables are in most cases visual indistinguishable. But the internal wiring is fully dif-
ferent. Mixing up these types of cable leads to LAN errors. Hence pay attention to
the label of the cable or packing.
