Hardware Installation
Device and PC Ethernet connections
Hubs or Switches
Hubs and Switches come in all different shapes and sizes. Both are used as a common
connection point for devices in a network. They are commonly used to connect segments
of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports and when a packet (Of data) arrives at one port,
it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets. Switches
work in a similar way but send the data directly from one port to another. On a busy net-
work this can be quicker and can have less data collision incidents.
Connect an Ethernet cable from
the Ethernet port on the back of
the device to the Ethernet hub.
Connect another Ethernet cable
from the Ethernet port on the PC
to the Ethernet hub.
