Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The 4 LAN ports on the Barricade Plus can auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet,
as well as the transmission mode to half-duplex or full-duplex. These
LAN ports support auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/
MDI-X) that allow you to use straight-through cabling for connecting
the Barricade Plus to any network device. (See Appendix B for details
on wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cabling to connect any of the 4 LAN ports on the
Barricade Plus to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you
can cascade any of LAN ports on the Barricade Plus to an Ethernet
hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network
equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is
properly seated.
