To use the AXBB-E you will need 5Vdc and 24Vdc in the control box so you might need a PSU depending on what you have already. You can use 12Vdc in place of 24Vdc if don't have it, Some people use an old PC power supply that has both 5V and 12Vdc outputs.
Other than that all you need is an Ethernet cross-over Cable if running directly to PC or a standard Ethernet cable if running through a network hub or Switch.

You don't always need a crossover network cable, a lot of network cards will do it automatically.

Same with the UC300eth (same controller base as the AX).
Pretty much guarantees it's going to work.
Re: step and dir pulse problem Mach3
Ordered the AXBB-E today, so looking forward to recieving and having a go setting it up, will post pics of the insides of the controller box i have tomorrow so people can tell me what i need and dont need and give me any help i need installing new card.
Cheers
Re: step and dir pulse problem Mach3
The network card does the crossover automatically. You can use a normal patch lead IF your network card supports this function. We'll at least that's my setup.
I think the network option is called Auto-MDIX

Many do, yes. Likely get the odd packet loss which is not good for cnc even if slight.
However, why bother arguing with the user manual?.
It says use crossover when connected direct so why not do it?.
Not exactly expensive.
I made one from some cat7 bits I had.
Carefully set it all up and was moving in no time.
