The Cable/DSL VPN Router's Ports
WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) Port is where you
will connect your Cable or DSL modem.
Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports are
where you will connect networked devices, such as
PCs, print servers, remote hard drives, and anything
else you want to put on your network.

crossover mode (X) and straight-through mode (II).

puter or to an Uplink port, choose straight-through
(II). For anything else, please refer to the chart
shown in Chapter 3, Figure 3-1.
