Closed Networks and Acappella Router Systems
Create closed networks between Acappella Routers,
Remote Panels, and PCs using Ethernet cables and/or
switches. A closed network is one that is kept separate
from other Local Area Networks and the Internet.
Use patch cables if you are using switches between the
routers, panels, and PCs.
It is also possible to use a crossover cable to connect an
Acappella Router directly to either a Remote Panel or a PC;
this option is only practical in very small systems.
One of the five networks shown in step 2 should work for
your facility.
