2. Standard network connection:
If more than one FP Web-Server should be connected with one (or
several) computer, a hub or switch has to be used as a star coupler. A
standard Ethernet 10BaseT hub can be used as a star coupler. When
using a hub, you can use standard Ethernet twisted pair cables along
with it.
If the IP address (and/or the data rate 10/ 100 MBPS) are not modified
very often, a switch might increase the performance of the network in
comparison to a hub:
A switch is an intelligent unit with which you can subdivide the Ethernet in
sub-segments that are widely independent from each other. You can
imagine it as a kind of switch matrix. If a piece of information should be
transferred to another segment, the switch automatically establishes the
