9-wire straight cable (only pin 2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need
to be connected) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC
7.2 Operating via ETHERNET
You can connect to the VS-44HDCP via Ethernet using either of the following
methods:
 Directly to the PC using a crossover cable (see Section 7.2.1)
 Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see
