3.2 The Ethernet Network

The FP Web-Server is supplied with a 10BaseT Ethernet connection. This type of Ethernet network uses a pier to pier connection with twisted pair cables. To establish a network, hubs and switches are used to connect the participants in a star-shaped manner.

To be able to configure the FP Web-Server, a Windows computer with an Ethernet network interface card has to be connected to the same network as the FP Web-Server. The FP Web-Server can be connected to an existing Ethernet network.

It is also possible to set up a separate network for the FP Web-Server. The computer can also be directly connected to the FP Web-Server by using a special "cross-over" Ethernet cable (see page 168).
