I can't speak specifically to this amp, but most of the new rigs can run
direct, or use an IP for remote operation. The newer rigs here all have
CAT-5, or CAT-6 connections. Each rig has an NIC so they can run of the
router giving them the ability to be run local, or remote via the
Internet. Once properly configured many, if not most newer
rigs/stations can be operated via the Internet
Fortunately none of the rigs were hooked into the network when a nearby
lightning strike induced enough voltage in the CAT-5 gigabit network to
do quite a bit of damage to stuff hooked to the network. As solid state
stuff can be HURT without failing at the time I'm still seeing computers
"it appears" failing from that strike and these are leading edge, if not
bleeding edge monsters. (IOW expensive) Even with all the grounding
system, a more recent strike took out the Diamond dual band 144/440
antenna and everything downstream except the rig. It even fried the 30A
PS. The new antenna should be here today. Now I gotta figure out how to
get the old one down and the new one up.

I don't believe the internet is involved. There is an Ethernet cable
between them, but no internet connection.
