Networking issues
Thanks to its robust security the MC5-IP offers you great flexibility in how it 
integrates into an existing network structure. The MC5-IP is designed to reside 
either on an internal network, behind a firewall/router or alternatively with its 
own direct Internet connection.

Positioning the MC5-IP in the network
Every network setup is different and great care needs to be taken when 
introducing a powerful device such as the MC5-IP into an existing configuration. 
A common cause of potential problems can be in clashes with firewall 
configurations. For this reason the MC5-IP is designed to be intelligent, flexible 
and secure. With the minimum of effort it can reside either behind the firewall 
or alongside with its own separate Internet connection.
