To connect the routers to the OI and RC I was thinking I could use this RS-232 to Ethernet cable.

Would this work? If not, does anyone have any possible solutions to my problem? Thanks! |
That looks expensive for what it does. It'll probably work though.
My group at TI makes a serial to ethernet module eval kit for less than half of that cost:

You can probably find others for similar or better costs if you look hard enough, I just had that part number on my mind from work earlier today.
PS: My boss would kill me if I didn't mention it, please don't hurt me. We make a bunch of eval/dev kits that have ethernet connectivity. If you are up for a slightly bigger challenge, pick one of them up.
