Direct and network connections to a QBox

The number of QBoxes you plan to use will determine the type of connection required.

If you plan to deploy a single QBox system then you can use a direct

connection.

If you plan to operate multiple QBoxes from a central control computer you

will need to establish a small or large-scale network.

4.3.1:

Ethernet network

An Ethernet connection should be used when using an existing network such as a LAN or when

you wish to connect multiple QBoxes within the same system.

It is possible to use an Ethernet connection for a single QBox system, but

you will need to use a hub or switch to act as the connecting element in the

network.
