Global users (IP network port)
The AdderView CATxIP 5000 provides an
autosensing Ethernet IP port that can operate
at 10 or 100Mbps, according to the network
speed. The AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 AdderView CATxIP 5000 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 CATxIP 5000 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 for global users
1 Depending upon where in the network the AdderView CATxIP 5000 is being
connected, run a category 5, 5e or 6 link cable from the appropriate hub or
router to the AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
2 Connect the plug of the link cable into the IP port on the front panel of the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 unit.
3 Configure the network settings as appropriate to the position of the
AdderView CATxIP 5000 within the network - see Networking issues for
details.
