IP network port

The AdderLink IP provides an autosensing Ethernet IP port that can operate at
10 or 100Mbps, according to the network speed. The AdderLink IP 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 AdderLink IP 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 the AdderLink IP 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

1 Depending upon where in the network the AdderLink IP is being connected,

run a category 5e or 6 cable from the appropriate hub or router to the
AdderLink IP.

2 Connect the plug of the category 5e or 6 cable into the IP port on the front

panel of the AdderLink IP.
