Appendix C. Portal Networking
Unitec supplies a pre-programmed router for connecting devices as a local network. The
networked devices will vary based on options ordered and may include:

One or more Portal TI+ units

A Portal Console

A POS Interface device (to communicate with a C-store POS System)

A print server (for connecting a local report printer)
In cases where there will be more than (4) Unitec devices on the network, an Ethernet switch
will need to be added. The WAN port of the switch connects to one of the LAN ports of the
Unitec router. The additional devices can then be connected to the LAN ports of the switch.
The illustration below provides a sample network diagram.
Example of Networked Unitec Devices
Third party devices should not be connected directly to the Unitec router. The broadband
device supplied for internet Service (e.g. DSL or Cable modem) will often have a built-in
router that can be used to connect these devices. In some cases however, a separate router
will need to be installed between the broadband modem and the Unitec router. The following
illustration shows the use of a 2
nd
router for 3
rd
party device connections.
