Connecting a Computer to the Junxion Box

Any laptop, desktop, handheld, printer, or other computing device that supports Ethernet (or Wi-Fi with the JB-110b) can connect to the Junxion Box. If your computer supports these common network interfaces, you don’t need to install any additional software to connect to the Junxion Box.

Before connecting multiple devices to the Junxion Box for the first time, or when switching to a different cellular modem, it’s a good idea to connect one computer first and verify that the cellular modem is successfully connected to the Internet. You may need to use the Junxion Box Device Manager to verify that the card is properly configured. See the “Using the Device Manager” chapter for more information.

Connecting Through Ethernet

To connect to the Junxion Box using Ethernet, simply plug one end of a crossover Ethernet cable into your computer, and plug the other end into either of the Ethernet ports on the Junxion Box (marked “1” and “2”). The two Ethernet cables included with the Junxion Box are crossover cables.

Make sure your computer is setup for DHCP addressing. To setup the Junxion Box for static IP addressing, refer to the LAN Page section in “Using the Device Manager”.

Note. You need a crossover Ethernet cable (included with the Junxion Box) if you are connecting your computer directly to the Junxion Box. You may need to use a standard (straight through) Ethernet cable if your computer is connecting to the Junxion Box through a separate router or hub. Some networking equipment and computers have auto- sensing ports that can use either cable type.

Connecting Through Wi-Fi (JB-110b only)

To connect wirelessly to the Junxion Box using a Wi-Fi equipped computer, simply select the network name “Junxion_Box” using the Wi-Fi connection software provided with your operating system or Wi-Fi network interface.
