Connecting A Telephone Or Fax Machine To The Router; Connecting Ethernet Cables To The Router - D-Link DI-106 Series User Manual

Connecting a Telephone or Fax Machine to the Router

You can connect a regular telephone, fax machine, or modem to
your router to be used for analog calls, just as you can do on a
conventional telephone line. Note that the router's other functions
all work the same whether you connect an analog device or not.
To connect an analog device, just plug one end of the device's line
cord into the socket on the back of the router marked PHONE 1 or
PHONE 2.
To have incoming calls directed to a device on a PHONE port, you
must select Phone1 or Phone2 for the desired telephone number's
Analog Call control in setup menu 2, ISDN Setup.

Connecting Ethernet Cables to the Router

Your DI-106 or DI-106M has six ports for connecting 10BASE-T
Ethernet devices to form a LAN. The jacks for ports 1 through 5
are wired to let you connect network end nodes (single-user
computers, servers, bridges, other routers, etc.) using standard
"straight-through" EIA (Electronic Industries Association)
Category 3 or higher-grade twisted-pair data cables. The jack for
the sixth port is labeled Uplink and is wired to let you connect
another 10-Mbps Ethernet hub using a straight-through cable, or an
end node using a cross-wired cable.
The jacks for the router's Ethernet ports are of the type known as
EIA RJ-45 (Recommended Jack No. 45). Note that when you
make an uplink connection to another hub using a straight-through
cable, you must use an uplink-type jack at one end and an end-
node-type jack at the other.
