have to be connected via Crossover LAN-cable?

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories are needed?
One PCIe network interface card (NIC), Lan/Crossover cables and
probably a switch/hub if more than one satellite must be connected.
Do we have accessories in portfolio?
Yes, see Starter Kit on slide 5, includes network card + license, NO
switch, NO LAN cable.
Does other NIC than INTEL xxx work?
Yes, but not officially supported by IGEL
Are there specific reasons for using UD3, UD5 or UD9 instead of UD2
as satellite?
In general graphic intense applications above the task worker level
might require more graphic performance even on the satellite. Due to
this UD3, UD5 or UD 9 might make sense.
The UD5 in particular might be focused if 4 digital outputs are a must
have. UD9 might be used in space constraint environments.
