Example NVS-10 Set Ups
Below is the simplest or initial set up with an NVS-10 unit.
Note that an RJ45 Cross Over Ethernet cable
is used between the NVS-10 and the computer
as it is a direct connection with no routing or
switching device in between.
You will also see that the first 3 numbers in the
IP address for both the NVS-10 and the
computer have been set the same. This allows
them to find and communicate with each other
quickly and easily because they are both within
the same local network configuration.
Below is a second example of an NVS-10 set up.
This time there are more computers so we
need something to share access to the NVS10
so we use a Router or a Switch. Note we are
using static IP addresses to organize the
network logically so that all items on the
network have the first 3 numbers or octets the
same. The last number or octet is unique to
the device.
To keep devices separated logically a lower
number is given to the device running or
serving the network (NVS-10) and client
devices (computers) are given a higher
number. So the last octet IP number for an
NVS-10 could be 1 to 10 and the computers
could be 20 to 254. Never use 0 and 255 as
the octet number as these are reserved for
special use by servers, routers and other
devices that may be on or joining the network.
