Motorola SVG2500 manual Wired Ethernet LAN, Sample Ethernet to Computer Connection

1 OVERVIEW

Wired Ethernet LAN

You will need to install the Ethernet network interface card (NIC) and driver software for each computer on the 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN. Because the SVG2500 Ethernet port supports auto-MDIX,you can use straight-through or cross-over cable to connect a hub, switch, or computer. Use category 5 cabling for all Ethernet connections.

Figure 1-3 — Sample Ethernet to Computer Connection

The physical wiring arrangement has no connection to the logical network allocation of IP addresses.

A wired Ethernet LAN with more than four computers requires one or more hubs, switches, or routers. You can do the following:

•Connect a hub or switch to any Ethernet port on the SVG2500

•Use Ethernet hubs, switches, or routers to connect up to 245 computers to the SVG2500
