Point to Point Ethernet Connection
The MorphoAccess® terminal can be connected directly to a PC by an Ethernet cable.
But there are some limits:
•
if the PC Ethernet port doesn’t 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 next section).
•
If the PC to be used is already connected to a LAN, then it must be either
disconnected from the LAN, or equipped with a 2
nd
network interface board,
which will be dedicated to the connection with the terminal. It could be mandatory
to modify the network parameter of the PC: please contact your LAN
administrator to define the best solution.
