Not really.  All you need to know is how to wire up the connector on
your target, and that is exactly what the poster shows.  It does however
assume you will be using the supplied crossover cable, which is a
reasonable assumption IMO. I've never managed to get one wrong myself
using the poster anyway, and simple inspection of the cable shows that
it is crossed over.
