Use if You Have Only One Ethernet
Connection
You can use the ethernet bridge setting to connect devices or
networks to the VGA Printer ETH 1 and ETH 2 ports. This section
describes:
•
Connecting a PC and an Ethernet Network to the VGA Printer
Device
• Connecting a Network Printer Directly to the VGA Printer
ETH 2 Port
Connecting a PC and an Ethernet Network to
the VGA Printer Device
In some cases you may only have one network connection
available for a PC and for the VGA Printer device. To connect
both the PC and the VGA Printer device to the network you can
do the following.
To connect a PC and an Ethernet network to the VGA
Printer device
In this configuration the VGA Printer ETH 1 and ETH 2 interfaces
act like a 2-port hub allowing the PC to connect to the network.
For best performance you should connect the PC to ETH 1 and the
Ethernet network to ETH 2. Also, the overhead required to
forward packets between ETH 1 and ETH 2 can affect the
performance of the device. You can temporarily improve
performance by disconnecting ETH 2 from the network.
