I think that as long as the person doesn't ask "Where is the light
switch in my office? I can't see my PM3 in the dark." they are ok.
This question was reasonable if taken at face value. If someone told
Ben that they needed a hub to connect the units together, without any
extra info, he would assume that it needed to be compatible with the
Lucent hardware, and it does.
Simply a straight answer like:
If you use coax, you can do this with 2 T's, 2 Terminating Resistors
and 1 BNC cable.
Or...
You can get a 10BaseT hub and use 2 10BaseT cables to connect the
units.
See the manual for how to configure the Ethernet interface on the
hardware itself for BNC or 10BaseT.
