Recommendation: Use network components which support
data rates of at least 100 Mbit/s.
If using a router, make sure that this is set so that the
multicasts of address 239.255.2.3. are passed on. This
address is used to search for devices in the network. If the
routers are not configured accordingly, the devices cannot be
found using the search function. If in doubt ask your network
administrator.
Direct connection with the PC
If the PCs network connection does not support automatic
adaptation of the send and receive cable (AUTO MDI-X), you
will also require a crossover cable and a cable coupling in
addition to the original cable (
