Global user (IP network port)
The AdderView CATx IP models
provide an autosensing Ethernet
IP port that can operate at 10 or
100Mbps, according to the network
speed. The AdderView CATx IP
models are designed to reside quite
easily at any part of your network:
They can be placed within
the local network, behind any
firewall/router connections to the Internet, or
They can be placed externally to the local network, on a separate sub-
network or with an open Internet connection.
Wherever in the network an AdderView CATx IP 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 CATx IP is accessible from the public Internet
or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient security measures are
employed.
IP network link
To connect the Global user (IP network) port
1 Depending upon where in the network the AdderView CATx IP is being
connected, run a category 5, 5e or 6 link cable from the appropriate hub or
router to the AdderView CATx IP unit.
2 Connect the plug of the link cable into the IP port on the front panel of the
AdderView CATx IP unit.
3 Configure the network settings as appropriate to the position of the
AdderView CATx IP within the network - see Networking issues for details.
