Wired Connections to the Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800 – Direct connection
The Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800 has two RJ-45 LAN connectors
available for direct connection to a computer on your network. You can use
either a straight through or a crossover cable between the computer and the
Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800 – the Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800
will automatically detect the cable configuration.
Use category 5 cabling for
all Ethernet connections.
Each computer on the Ethernet LAN requires an Ethernet network interface
card (NIC) and driver software installed.
The physical wiring arrangement has no connection to the logical network
allocation of IP addresses.
Wired Connections to the Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800 – Connections via other network devices
If you need to connect to another network via another gateway or
need to expand the number of Ethernet ports by using a hub or a
switch you can connect one of these devices directly to the Motorola
Cellular Gateway NC800 using the LAN port. The port is designed to
automatically detect and handle both straight through and crossover
cables.
Wireless Connections to the Motorola Cellular Gateway NC800
Wireless communication occurs over radio waves rather than a
wire. Like a cordless telephone, a wireless
LAN uses radio
signals instead of wires to exchange data. A wireless network
eliminates the need for expensive and intrusive wiring to connect
computers throughout the home or office. Mobile users can
remain connected to the network even when carrying their
laptops to different locations in the home or office.
Each computer on a wireless LAN requires an adapter for access
to the WLAN:
•
For wireless laptop connections, a Motorola PCC11b
Wireless Card can be used in the PCMCIA slot.
•
For wireless desktop connections, a Motorola USB11b
Wireless Adapter can be used to connect your PC USB
port.
You can connect any combination of 802.11g or 802.11b wireless clients to the Motorola Cellular Gateway
NC800.
