Chapter - 5. MUPLIPLE CONNECTIONS
5.1. ETHERNET SWITCH (NOT SUPPLIED)
An Ethernet switch, provides a central connection in an Ethernet network in which each connected device has
its own dedicated link with full bandwidth. Switches divide LAN data into smaller, easier-to-manage seg-
ments and receive data from the controller. As a result, every port on the switch represents a dedicated
10- or 100-Mbps pathway. Because users connected to a switch do not have to share bandwidth, a switch
offers relief from the network congestion a shared hub can cause.
5.2. CONNECTING TO MULTIPLE MCS-MAGNUMS
With the NEW MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM you can connect multiple MCS-MAGNUMS to the MCS-WIRE-
LESS-MODEM using an Ethernet Switch (not supplied) that will enable you to communicate with each
MCS-MAGNUM anywhere in the Continental United States as long as your MCS-WIRELESS-MODEM is hard
wired to an existing ethernet network. (see wiring diagram on page 9).
