Connecting The PC To The Marquee
Cable Description
This section discussing the steps to connect the Marquee directly to the Marquee.
There are two types of Ethernet cables available in today’s market.
A patch or straight cable is used when connecting an Ethernet device to a Switch or HUB.
A Cross Over cable is used when connecting one Ethernet Device, such as a PC, to another Ethernet
Device, such as the Marquee, without a HUB or Switch. This is known as a direct connection and
requires that the Ethernet cable crosses the Ethernet signals. A Cross Over cable is included with the
Marquee for this purpose. If the user is connecting the Marquee to a HUB or Switch, the user must
supply the Patch or Straight Through cable.
