Figure 4
Figure 4 shows a typical network topology for the PixLite 4 Rugged controller(s) LAN. The host
machine connects to a router and then to the controller(s) via cat5/6 Ethernet cables. If you are only
using a few controllers, they can be connected straight to the router. Larger installations will benefit
from using a network switch between the router and controllers. Using an IGMP enabled network
switch is also recommended in large installations if using multicast.
In smaller installations it may be preferable to connect the controller directly to the host ma chine’s
network adapter.
The PixLite 4 controller Rugged(s) can also be integrated straight into any pre-existing LAN.
