Network cabling
Placement of Ethernet ports on the back panel of the ConnectStation
The ConnectStation provides three Gigabit Ethernet ports that are allocated to different funtionalities:
► 
Standalone Mode:
LAN1 is used to connect a
delivery subnet in Standalone Mode.
LAN2 is used to integrate into an existing network as a client. In Standalone mode, this network is only used to connect to the Internet for service and support.
Integrated Mode:
LAN1 is disabled when the ConnectStation is set to Integrated Mode.
LAN2 is used to integrate into an existing network as a client. In Integrated mode, all stream delivery to clients will be via LAN2, and it is used to connect multiple ConnectStations into a cluster.
Both modes:
LAN3 is used to connect a laptop for administrative access. It can only be configured to have a static IP address and netmask (no DHCP), and not gateway or DNS server.
Note: There is no routing between any of these networks, i.e. clients accessing the WiFi connected to LAN1 cannot access any network resources connected via LAN2.
