To use your Router to connect to the Internet through an external cable
or DSL modem:
1 Insert one end of the supplied Ethernet (RJ-45 Category 5) cable into the
Cable/DSL port on the rear panel of the Router.
2 Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on your cable or DSL
modem. Check that the Cable/DSL status LED lights on the Router.
3 Connect the cable or DSL modem to the Internet.
4 Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Router using
a Category 5 twisted pair cable. Check that the corresponding LAN status
LED on the Router lights.
You have now completed the hardware installation of your Router. Next
you need to set up your computers so that they can make use of the
Router to communicate with the Internet.
3Com recommends that you perform the initial Router configuration
from a computer that is directly connected to one of the LAN ports.
If you configure the Router from a wireless computer, note that you may
lose contact with the Router if you change the wireless configuration.
