IMPORTANT:
 DHCP must be disabled.
A static IP address will be
set on the computer and
the MATE3.
 This connection may require
a CAT5 crossover cable.
Some modern computers
may be able to perform the
crossover function even if a
noncrossover cable is used.
(The Ethernet chipset must
support auto-switching.)
If this is not the case, then a
network switch or router
must be used. See Figure 11.
