To do this, each device must be provided with a network interface card (Art. No.

If you also wish to link up a Silverball Max and one or more Silverball Selection Terminals,
the version 6.10 or higher must be installed in both devices.
If you wish to link up more than 4 Silverball devices, you have to use one or more Hubs
additionally.

*) Some Internet service providers may have additional requirements, may not allow
Internet sharing, and/or may charge additional service fees.
