Ethernet Port(s) & Networking.
Direct networking refers to how the network connection is
experienced by the user. The connection is continuously active,
thus no actions need be performed.
Powering on the local PCs and the
STWireless is enough to
enable the user to interact with the network, once the initial
configuration is done.
Direct networking is what is typically experienced on a LAN. Initial
configuration of all networking nodes in the endĆtoĆend network is
still required, but this is performed only once, i.e. when the service
is enabled.
In this mode, there is no initial connectivity. You must explicitly
request a connection by dialing up to the remote access server.
The remote side will require you to identify and authenticate
yourself.
The STWireless supports both direct networking, and dialĆup
networking solutions, independently whether you are using the
Ethernet port.
