Point to Point Ethernet Connection
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminal can be connected directly to a PC by an Ethernet
cable.
The administrator needs to consider the points mentioned below prior to connecting the
terminal directly to a PC via an Ethernet cable.
If the Ethernet port of the PC does not support the Auto-MDIX feature, then a crossover
Ethernet cable is mandatory. If no crossover Ethernet cable is available, then a switch can be
used (please refer to “
Connection through only one Ethernet switch”
).
If the PC that the administrator uses is already connected to a LAN, then it must be either
disconnected from the LAN, or equipped with a 2
nd
network interface board. This 2
nd
network
board will be dedicated to the connection with the terminal. The administrator may need to
modify the network parameters of the PC, in that case a Network or LAN administrator should
be contacted for seeking the best solution.
