IP network port
The Wizard IP Plus provides an autosensing Ethernet IP port that can operate at
10 or 100Mbps, according to the network speed. The Wizard IP Plus 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 Wizard IP Plus 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 the Wizard IP Plus 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
1 Depending upon where in the network the Wizard IP Plus is being
connected, run a category 5e or 6 cable from the appropriate hub or router
to the Wizard IP Plus.
2 Connect the plug of the category 5e or 6 cable into the IP port on the front
panel of the Wizard IP Plus.
2 Connect the main speaker cable to the port labelled
within the KVMA
CONSOLE section of the rear panel.
