Additional Ports
Depending on the appliance model, you can just insert the network interface
card mentioned above in a free slot or replace one or two of the existing cards,
thus increasing the number of ports in different ways:
•
WW500
The WW500 Appliance is equipped with two onboard network interfaces,
each of them providing one port.
By inserting a network interface card with six ports in a free slot, you can
increase the total number of ports to eight:
2 + 6 = 8
•
WW1100
The WW1100 Appliance is equipped with two onboard network interfaces,
each of them providing one port. One of these ports is a Dual Port. Fur-
thermore, there is a network interface card, providing two ports.
You can replace the latter by a card with six ports, which increases the total
number of ports to eight:
2 + (2 – 2 + 6) = 8
•
WW1900
The WW1900 Appliance is equipped with two onboard network interfaces
and two network interface cards, each of them providing one port.
You can replace one of the network interface cards by a card with six ports,
which increases the total number of ports to nine, or replace both network
interface cards by cards with six ports, thus increasing the total number of
ports to 14:
2 + 1 + (1 – 1 + 6) = 9
or:
2 + (1 – 1 + 6) + (1 – 1 + 6) = 14
