Using an Ethernet crossover cable
« on: 2021-04-11, 00:25:49 »
Can the two RRC-1258MkIIs boxes be directly connected with an Ethernet crossover cable for testing purposes?
I just ordered a set, and I thought this connection might be a good first checkout.

Hi
Even a straight cable works but it's not a good idea as you need to have the RRCs connected to the same LAN as your PC when setting them up. But when it's done you can connect them direct to each other if you use fixed ip-addresses.
