Connect the Router

A
Before you begin, make sure
that all of your hardware is
powered off, including the
Router, PCs, hubs, switches,
and cable or DSL modem.
B
Connect one end of an Ether-
net network cable to one of
the numbered ports on the
back of the Router (see Figure
B). Connect the other end to
an Ethernet port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, print server,
hub, or switch.
B
Repeat this step to connect
more PCs or other network
devices to the Router.
C
Connect your cable or DSL
modem's Ethernet cable to
the Router's Internet port. If
using the DMZ/Internet port,
Internet
connect a second cable to it,
and the other end to the net-
work device , e.g., modem or
public server. See Figure C.

Power port on the side of the
Router, as shown in Figure E,

nected properly.

Configure the Router

In Step 2, you will need the setup
instructions provided by your Inter-
net Service Provider (ISP). If you do
not have this information, then con-
tact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you
how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using
the Router to share Internet access
among several computers, you will
use the setup information to config-
ure the Router instead of your PC.
NOTE:: Make sure your PC's Ethernet
adapter is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. For more information,
refer to Windows Help.
