6.3 Connecting the Sunny WebBox Directly to the Computer
1. Use the blue network cable (Ethernet crossover cable) to connect the Sunny WebBox directly
to the computer (see ➀ ). The terminal on the computer is generally marked with the same
symbol as the network connection of the Sunny WebBox. If necessary, refer to the computer
manual.
Recommendation on network cabling
Should the network cable supplied be too short, observe the following when buying a
longer cable:
• You will need an Ethernet crossover cable.
• Unnecessarily long cables have an adverse effect on the signal quality. The
maximum permitted cable length is 328 ft. (100 m) per segment.
• Use a high quality, at least category 5 (FTP Cat 5) or higher shielded twisted pair
cable.
2. Connect the plug-in power supply to the Sunny WebBox and plug it into the socket outlet
(see ➁ ).
☑ The Sunny WebBox starts up and is ready for operation once the "SYSTEM" and "POWER"
LEDs are green. The start-up procedure can take up to 90 seconds.
– If the "SYSTEM" or "POWER" LEDs are not glow green, please refer to section
11.1 "General Troubleshooting for the Sunny WebBox" (page 53).
Now set the computer to the network area of the Sunny WebBox (see section 6.4 "Configuring
Network Settings on the Computer" (page 28)).
