be enabled to allow all devices connecting to its hotspot Wi-Fi to have internet/intranet
access (via the wired Ethernet connection). You may find this configuration suitable for
meeting rooms.
Ethernet & Wi-Fi client mode
In this case, the NovoConnect device's RJ45 port is connected to a wired EMPLOYEE network for
employees to securely access it; at the same time, the NovoConnect device's Wi-Fi is connected
to a GUEST network to allow visitors to access it. The following graph describes such a network
setup scenario.
By doing so, the GUEST and EMPLOYEE networks are kept separate, while at the same time, the
NovoConnect device is available to both guest users and employees.
Notes on Network Security: Within a NovoConnect device, the Wi-Fi section is completely
separated from the Ethernet section, namely, there is NO network routing between these two
sections. Therefore, users connecting to the Wi-Fi section will not be able to access any resource
on the Ethernet at all, and vice versa. In short, security is not compromised in this configuration.
Ethernet & Wi-Fi hotspot mode
In this case, the NovoConnect device's RJ45 port is connected to a wired network connecting to
the internet/intranet; at the same time, the NovoConnect device is also running in Wi-Fi hotspot
mode allowing PCs and tablets to connect to it wirelessly. The following graph describes such a
network setup scenario.
