Network

The TimeCore is a network capable device. A network connection between
between a computer and the unit is required to configure and program the
TimeCore, however, once the device is programmed then it is not necessary
anymore for the TimeCore to be connected to an Ethernet network.
There are multiple arrangements possible for connecting the computer and the
TimeCore. They can be connected peer-to-peer, via a network switch or via
Wi-Fi. Figure 4.1 illustrates these different arrangements.

The Ethernet port on the TimeCore is auto-sensing; it does not matter whether
a cross or straight network-cable is being used.
