Chapter 5
Network
The IoCore is a network capable device. A network connection between between
a computer and the unit is required to configure and program the IoCore, how-
ever, once the device is programmed then it is not necessary anymore for the
IoCore to be connected to an Ethernet network.
There are multiple arrangements possible for connecting the computer and the
IoCore. They can be connected peer-to-peer, via a network switch or via Wi-Fi.
Figure 5.1 illustrates these different arrangements.

The Ethernet port on the IoCore is auto-sensing; it does not matter whether a
cross or straight network-cable is being used.
