Global users (IP network port)
The SC5-4xIP provides an autosensing Ethernet
IP port that can operate at 10 or 100Mbps,
according to the network speed. The SC5-4xIP
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 SC5-4xIP 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 SC5-4xIP 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 SC5-4xIP is being connected, run
a category 5, 5e or 6 link cable from the appropriate hub or router to the
SC5-4xIP unit.
2 Connect the plug of the link cable into the IP port on the front panel of the
SC5-4xIP unit.
3 Configure the network settings as appropriate to the position of the SC5-
4xIP within the network - see
Networking issues
for details.
