LAN Connections
The three LAN ports on the RoamAbout R1 can auto-negotiate the connection speed to
10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to
half-duplex or full-duplex. These LAN ports also support auto-configuration for pin signals
(auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to use straight-through cable for connecting the
RoamAbout R1 to any network device. Refer to the RoamAbout R1 SOHO Setup and
Installation Guide.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three LAN ports on the RoamAbout R1 to an
Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of LAN ports on the
RoamAbout R1 to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC (or other network
equipment) to the hub or switch.
