Network Requirements
• A broadband Internet connection via cable or DSL modem with
Ethernet interface (RJ-45)
• 10BaseT or 100BaseT Network Interface Card installed on each
computer
• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer
• Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.7 and
higher
• CAT 5 STP (Category 5 Shielded Twisted Pair) Straight Through
Ethernet cable for each attached device
Note: To cascade an additional hub or switch to the Safe@Office 100
appliance, you must use a crossed Ethernet cable instead. The
Safe@Office 200 series automatically detects the cable type, so you
can use either a straight-through or crossed cable.
Note: For optimal results, it is highly recommended to use either
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 6.2 or
higher.
