integrates into an existing network structure. The MC5-IP is designed to reside
either on an internal network, behind a firewall/router or alternatively with its
own direct Internet connection.

Positioning the MC5-IP in the network

Every network setup is different and great care needs to be taken when
introducing a powerful device such as the MC5-IP into an existing configuration.
A common cause of potential problems can be in clashes with firewall
configurations. For this reason the MC5-IP is designed to be intelligent, flexible
and secure. With the minimum of effort it can reside either behind the firewall
or alongside with its own separate Internet connection.
