3.1.2 Step 2. Connect computers or a Network.

If your LAN has no more than 4 computers, you can use an

Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the built-in switch

on the device. Note that you should attach one end of the Ethernet

cable to any of the port labeled 1 – 4 on the rear panel of the router

and connect the other end to the Ethernet port of a computer.

If your LAN has more than 4 computers, you can attach one end

of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch (probably an uplink port;

please refer to the hub or switch documentations for instructions)

and the other to the Ethernet switch port (labeled 1 – 4) on the

RX3042H.

Note that either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable

can be used to connect the built-in switch and computers, hubs or

switches as the built-in switch is smart enough to make connections

with either type of cables.

Attach the AC adapter to the POWER input jack on the back of the

device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or a power strip.

3.1.4 Step 4. Power on RX3042H, the ADSL or cable

modem and power up your computers

Plug the AC adapter to the power input jack of RX3042H. Turn on

your ADSL or cable modem. Turn on and boot up your computer(s)

and/or any LAN devices such as wireless AP, hubs or switches.
