Using the Internet

Launching Internet Explorer on any PC connected to the LAN will automatically connect the user to
the Internet.

Local Area Network

The Internet module has a LAN (Local Area Network) which allows multiple PCs to connect to the
Internet. It also allows users to network PCs and share printers and other resources.
The Internet module has four 10/100 switched Ethernet ports for connecting PCs or other devices. If
more than four LAN devices are to be connected, an external Ethernet hub or hubs can be connected to
any or all of the ports to expand the LAN. The Internet module can accommodate up to a total of 100
LAN devices.
The RJ-45 connectors for these ports are located on the Internet module's Main Distribution Frame
(MDF) and are used to connect PCs or other LAN devices to the Internet module. Each port is set for
auto-configuration and auto-sensing to automatically adapt to network card settings in the PC or other
device that is connected to it. Also, each port can automatically adapt itself to a standard or crossover
cable.

Wide Area Network

The Internet module can use ADSL or Broadband to access the Internet.
