NOTE:
Throughout the remainder of this manual, the term
"DI-106" refers to any DI-106 or DI-106W, and the term
"DI-106M" refers to any DI-106M or DI-106MW.
Features
Each DI-106 series router is packed with features that give it the
flexibility to provide a complete networking solution for almost any
user.
Ease of Installation
Your DI-106 or DI-106M is a self-contained unit that is quick and
easy to install. Physically, it resembles an external modem;
however, it is a combination ISDN router and 10BASE-T Ethernet
hub, and it uses twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect to the host
network.
Built-in Hub
As a 10BASE-T Ethernet hub, your DI-106 or DI-106M provides
six ports for connection of standard 10-Mbps Ethernet devices.
Five ports are designed for connection of network end nodes—
single-user computers, servers, bridges, other routers, etc.—
through standard "straight-through" twisted-pair cables; the sixth is
wired for making an "uplink" connection to another hub through
the same kind of cable for network expansion.
