Task 2: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet Hub (Optional)
The product is managed through either:
• An Internet connection to a browser-capable PC (EFCM Basic
Edition interface). Connection of a LAN segment with multiple
switches to the Internet may require installation of a 24-port
Ethernet hub.
• A 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN connection to a
management server. Connectivity may require installation of a
24-port Ethernet hub. A combination of up to 48 products can be
configured and managed on one network, therefore multiple,
daisy-chained hubs may be required to provide sufficient port
connections.
The following paragraphs provide instructions to unpack, inspect,
and install one or more Ethernet hubs.
• If the existing Ethernet LAN segment is adequate for connectivity
and a hub is not delivered, this task is not required. Go to Task 3:
Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Product.
• If the hub is delivered in a Fabricenter equipment cabinet, go to
Task 5: Configure Product Network Information (Optional).
