Connecting the Ethernet ports

The following section provides information on connecting the Ethernet ports on the back of the
media server.
You connect to the various ports using standard CAT5 cables with RJ45 connectors on each
end. If the S8500 Media Server has only one port network, connect it through the dual NIC.

you have not connected the modem yet, do so now.
