Port name Function
Router card The router card LAN ports are used to connect network devices, such as IP telephones to
LAN ports the LAN.
These ports are connected to the network switch built into the main unit. Any devices
connected to these ports are on the same subnet as the device connected to the LAN
port.
Expansion unit The expansion unit LAN port is used to connect network devices, such as IP telephones
LAN port to the LAN.
These ports are connected to the network switch built into the main unit. Any devices

1 Connect one end of a standard Ethernet cable to your LAN.
2
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the main unit.
3
If you want to use the internal BCM50 network switch to connect another IP device to the
LAN, connect an Ethernet cable between the IP device and one of the additional LAN ports on
the BCM50 system (Router card LAN ports, Expansion port, or expansion unit LAN port).
4 Repeat step 3 for each IP device you want to connect to the LAN using the BCM50 switch.
