Following the technical instructions below you can link together up to 4 Silverball devices in
one local area network and, at the same time, provide them with joint Internet access via a
DSL, ADSL or Internet line. *)
To do this, each device must be provided with a network interface card (Art. No.

If you also wish to link up a Silverball Max and one or more Silverball Selection Terminals,
the version 6.10 or higher must be installed in both devices.
If you wish to link up more than 4 Silverball devices, you have to use one or more Hubs
additionally.
