computer
• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer
• Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.7 and

Ethernet cable for each attached device

Safe@Office 200 series automatically detects the cable type, so you
can use either a straight-through or crossed cable.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 6.2 or
higher.
• When using Safe@Office 300W, a wireless card installed on each
