Global users (IP network port)
The AdderView CATxIP 5000 provides an autosensing Ethernet IP port that can
operate at 10 or 100Mbps, according to the network speed. The AdderView CATxIP
5000 is designed to reside quite easily at any part of your network:
• It can be placed within the local network, behind any firewall/router
connections to the Internet, or
• It can be placed externally to the local network, on a separate sub-network or
with an open Internet connection.
Wherever in the network the AdderView CATxIP 5000 is situated, you will need to
determine certain configuration issues such as address allocation and/or firewall
adjustment to allow correct operation. Please refer to
Networking issues
within the
Configuration chapter for more details.
IMPORTANT: When an AdderView CATxIP 5000 is accessible from the public Internet
or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient
security measures
are
employed.
To connect the IP network port for global users
1 Depending upon where in the network the AdderView CATxIP 5000 is being
connected, run a category 5, 5e or 6 link cable from the appropriate hub or
router to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
2 Connect the plug of the link cable into the IP port on the back of the CAT5-A2
unit.
3 Configure the network settings as appropriate to the position of the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 within the network - see
Networking issues
for details.
