IP Sharing Module
The optional IP sharing module allows you to share your xDSL or
cable modem internet connection with up to 4 other computers. You
can also share files and printer connections with other machines con-
nected to the ports.
The IP sharing module is a BroadBand IP Gateway and Fast Ether-
Switch integrating an Internet IP sharing device with a built-in 4-port
10/100Mbps N-Way Fast Ethernet switch. This allows you to con-
nect a small group of PC's to your high-speed internet connection.
DHCP client and DHCP server allow you to complete the network
configuration automatically.
The following pages give a quick guide to cabling and setup. For full
on
information on the IP sharing module setup, refer to the accompany-
ing manual and quick start guides on the Device Drivers & Utilities
+ User's Manual CD-ROM . Make sure you install the software ( see
"What to Install" on page 4 - 2 ).
