Global user (IP network port)

The MC5-IP models provide an
autosensing Ethernet IP port that
can operate at 10 or 100Mbps,
according to the network speed.
The MC5-IP models are designed
to reside quite easily at any part of
your network:
• They can be placed within
the local network, behind any
firewall/router connections to the Internet, or
• They can be placed externally to the local network, on a separate sub-
network or with an open Internet connection.
Wherever in the network an MC5-IP is situated, you will need to determine
certain configuration issues such as address allocation and/or firewall adjustment
to allow correct operation. Please refer to
Configuration chapter for more details.
IMPORTANT: When an MC5-IP is accessible from the public Internet or dial up
connection, you must ensure that sufficient
