This chapter describes the panel layout of the Home Network Gateway, as well as
detailing the hardware installation procedure.
The front panel of the gateway contains 4 Ethernet ports.
Ports 1 - 4
These ports function as your Ethernet switch. After you connect the devices to
these ports, (including computers, hubs, etc.), they can be networked together,
and you can share files between the computers on your home network.
The rear panel of the gateway contains three ports: the PRINT port, the WAN port,
and the COM port.
PRINT

COM

analog or ISDN modem.
