Wired Ethernet LAN
You can connect any PC with an Ethernet LAN port to the SVG1501 Ethernet
connection. Because the SVG1501 Ethernet port supports auto-MDIX
, you can use a
straight-through or cross-over cable to connect a hub, switch, or computer. Use
category 5, or better, cabling for all Ethernet connections.
Sample Ethernet to Computer Connection (SVG1501U model shown)
A wired Ethernet LAN with more than four computers requires one or more hubs,
switches, or routers. You can:
•
Connect a hub or switch to any Ethernet port on the SVG1501.
•
Use Ethernet hubs, switches, or routers to connect up to any combination of 245
computers and wireless clients to the SVG1501.
