Connection and installation
If necessary, connect your Internet service provider's ADSL connection device
to your telephone socket using a telephone connection cable. The 'ADSL Link'
LED will light up after several seconds.
It is important to always start the router before the computers so that the
computers can receive their address configuration from the router while boo-
ting.
As each of the ports also functions as an uplink port, you may connect either
a computer or an additional switch (hub) to any of the 4 ports, should you
need to link more than 4 computers. Thanks to autosensing, you can use
either crossover or normal twisted-pair cables. A blue LED labeled 'Link/Act'
will be lit on the front panel for every computer or switch (hub) which is con-
nected and powered up.

Connect the device to an AC outlet using the AC adapter. Turn on the
power with the microswitch on the back. The blue 'Power' LED on the
front panel will light up.
Connect the ADSL cable to the socket on your 'ADSL' router and to the
ADSL connection.
Next, use a network cable to connect a computer to one of the router's
RJ-45 sockets (e.g. '1') and start the computer. The 'Link/Act' LED will
light up.
You may also connect additional computers or switches to ports '2' to '4'
now or at a later date.
