The CS5355 Wired LAN(IP) Card
The Wired LAN(IP) Card allows the DualCom GPRS to be connected to a LAN.
This typically will be a LAN for office computers where cabling is Cat 5 UTP
cable, and connectors are RJ45 type.
In addition, the Wired LAN(IP) Card includes all of the features of the CS2351
Expander Board. See page 18.
The LAN to which the Wired LAN(IP) Card is connected must:
1. have a route to the internet (the ‘default gateway’). This typically will be by
ADSL (broadband) communications. Without this, the Wired LAN Card will
not operate.
2. have either,
a). a DHCP server function so that the LAN(IP) Card will automatically
be given an IP address on the LAN, or...
b). the LAN(IP) Card must be programmed with a Fixed/Static IP address.
CSL will dispatch a DualCom and LAN(IP) Card fully programmed for operation
providing that the ‘default gateway’, IP address options and mask information
are provided with the order.
As with all DualCom setup details, this IP information can also be downloaded
to the DualCom and changed if required. Where IP addressing requires setting/
changing, please ensure that you are fully conversant with IP, Internet and
LAN conventions then contact CSL Technical Support.
