13.4.2 Typical Installation The following diagram shows two examples of a typical installation with
network receivers.
Figure 38. Network receivers may be placed anywhere in your network
13.4.3 How it Works In the Smart-Vue Client monitoring application, the Smart-Vue PoE
Network Receiver operates transparently as if it were connected directly to
your Smart-Vue Server computer, like a serial or USB receiver.
The difference is that the receiver resides on your Ethernet network and
communicates via TCP/IP. The Smart-Vue Client software enables you to
connect directly to the receiver in order to include it in your Smart-Vue
monitoring system.
13.5 Before you Begin
13.5.1 Temporarily Disable the
Firewall on your Computer
For smooth installation, we recommend that you temporarily disable your
server computer’s firewall during installation. (A firewall is a security system
that acts as a protective shield between your network and the outside world,
or your computer and the rest of the network).
This must be done by a user with Administrator rights. Contact your system
administrator for help if you are unsure or if you do not have Administrator
rights.
