What Is The Difference Between HogNet and FixtureNet?

You will find two dedicated Ethernet jacks on the back of your console labeled HogNet and FixtureNet. Using cat 5 Ethernet cable or better, the two ports are used for different types of communication in a Hog 4 system.
On some HedgeHog 4 and Road Hog 4 consoles the Ethernet jacks may not be labeled. As shown below, the HogNet port is on the RIGHT when viewing the console from the rear.
