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

1Depending 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.

2Connect the plug of the category 5e or 6 cable into the IP port on the front panel of the Wizard IP Plus.
