Yes, a standard CAT 5 cable between the radio and router is all that is 
needed.  Then with the router you will have to configure port forwarding for 
5 consecutive ports along with the IP address of the radio.  Then download 
the software OnePlug version 1.12 from the TT website.  With this software 
it will connect to the radio with the ability to control all of the 
functions and have VOIP as well.  Hence oneplug is all that goes to the 
radio.
