Question

For the Ethernet connection, do I need a cross-over or patch cable?

Answer

A key feature included with ViewMarq is auto-MDIX: automatic medium-dependant interface crossover. This feature allows you to use cross-over cables where you would normally use straight-through cables and vice versa. The switch detects the cable type and reverses its own TX/RX pair to match.
