Action
Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable to your LAN.
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the available two LAN
ports on the BCM450 main unit (two right-most ethernet ports).
The OAM port does not support VoIP devices.
CAUTION
The two LAN ports on the BCM450 are set up in a bridge
configuration (both ports use the same IP address). Do not connect
IP devices to both ports at the same time to avoid service problems.
