If no LAN is available and the codec is connected directly to a computer, use a crossover cable.
The cable specification is:
1 1
2 2
3 3
6 6
If such a connection is needed the codec and PC must use ‘static’ TCP/IP settings because no
DHCP server is controlling the small “LAN” which has been created between the computer and
the codec. When configuring a back-to-back connection between the PC and the codec, make
sure both static IP addresses exist on the same subnet.
