Q: I am a little confused after reading your web site regarding the
AudioTron. Do I need a network in order to connect the AudioTron,
or can I just simply connect the ethernet cable from my computer
to the AudioTron? I am using Windows XP on a desktop with no DSL
or Highspeed internet connections.
A: If you do not have any other PCs to network you can use an Ethernet
Crossover cable and Static IP Address to make a direct connection from
the Atron to the PC. If you plan to add another PC or other network device
you will need a Hub or Router and standard Ethernet cables to connect
everything together.
NOTE: A regular cat5 patch cable is NOT a Crossover cable. In a Crossover
cable, one wire is crossed so a DIRECT connection can be made between
two PCs without a Router or Hub.
