Connect Ethernet LAN to Router

The Router may be connected to any 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN. Connection to an Ethernet concentrating device

such as a switch or hub should use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the

Router is a straight-through (MDI-X) connection. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type

of cable to use to make this connection. Use a normal crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal

(MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on

a hub or switch. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server (MDI-II) use a straight-through cable. A

valid connection will be indicated by a steady green Ethernet Link LED indicator.

The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable

connecting the Ethernet LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.

The diagram below illustrates a typical Ethernet LAN to Router connection.
