Using Crossover Cables
Connection to the management interface from the workstation can be done directly without a
switch. This is usually done by using a crossover cable.
Note: A crossover cable is not necessary for Gigabit interfaces
On the SG4500 Series, the ge1 to ge6 Ethernet ports support Automatic MDI-X and do
not require a crossover cable. Direct connection with a regular cable is possible.
Workstation Ethernet Interface Setup
Traffic will be able to flow between the designated workstation interface and the Clavister
Security Gateway interface because they are on the same IP network. This means the workstation
interface should be first assigned the following static IP addresses:
• IP address: 192.168.1.30
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Tip: Using another interface IP address
The assigned IP address, 192.168.1.30 , could be another address from the
192.168.1.0/24 network as long as it is different from 192.168.1.1 which is the address
used by CorePlus on its default management interface.
To enter these settings on a Windows XP™ based PC, the following steps are needed:
• Click the Start button.
• Right click on My Network Places and select Properties.
• Right click the chosen Ethernet interface and select Properties.
• Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
