Dedicated Network - making use of a network hub or switch
In this scenario the 640e or 650e connects to the Ethernet through a network hub or switch. At least one
computer is also connected to the hub.
Dedicated Network using a Hub/Switch
Some network devices such as a wireless access point may act as a DHCP server. If this is
the case, follow the instructions for the LAN with a DHCP server. For detailed
information consult the documentation that is specific to your network device.
LAN with a DHCP Server (Local Area Network with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server)
Many corporations use the LAN/Server with DHCP arrangement for their networks. In this type of setup
several computers are typically connected to a network that makes use of a DHCP server. In addition, a

¾ Using a 640e or 650e on a typical LAN may affect the speed of the network and internet data
transfer. Because of this we recommend adding a network card to the computer and using one of
the two dedicated network configurations.
¾ Contact your network administrator before connecting a 640e or a 650e to a corporate network.
