The answer to your question is No, any devices connected to the other ports of the codec will not get access to the network attached to the standard network port.   These additional ports are internal to the codec and for connecting devices such as the Touch Navigtator and/or cameras only.  There is no pass-through between them and the normal LAN connector.

Hi Ashish,

 

Thanks for your prompt reply.

 

I am aware of that but would still like to know the answer to my question. If I, or a customer were to unplug the touch panel and connect that cable to a laptop, would the laptop have internet access?

The touch panel has only one ethernet port on it and that is meant to be used to pair to your codec/room kit via a direct connect to the room kit or to the network. Its not meant to be a general purpose ethernet port for a use to plug into to use for a laptop/pc.
Thanks ashish

No it would not. That port is designed solely for peripheral devices (the touch 10 in this case, RK plus/pro also have Ethernet ports for camera(s). It is not a switch port like you'd find on a phone or DX.
