The ServSwitch CX with IP models
provide an autosensing Ethernet
IP port that can operate at 10 or
100Mbps, according to the network
speed. The ServSwitch CX with 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 a ServSwitch CX with 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 a ServSwitch CX with IP is accessible from the public Internet
or dial up connection, you must ensure that sufficient security measures are
employed.
