An active USB extension would get you working.
Otherwise, if it is like the Avid/Euphonix panels, then yes a crossover cable would be used. That said, I don't own a mini panel, so they may have built in a better ethernet interface and it doesn't require the crossover cable, but not sure. Crossover would be safe and easy to buy or make.
Alternate would be to buy a cheap little multiport switch and connect the panel through the new switch.
Second alternate would be to buy a good mulitport switch, at least as fast as the regular network, connect network line from main network, connect computer, connect panel. Not ideal, but it would probably work unless the panel needs to be on its own VLAN, this would require a little more costly switch.
