For Ethernet connectivity you will need at least:
A computer that already has an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
installed
If required, a hub or switch and the necessary connection cables
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ45/RJ45
Ethernet cable, hereafter referred to as a LAN cable, is included.
As all SpeedTouch™ variants feature 10/100Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X
Ethernet ports, you can use any type of full wired LAN cable to connect your
equipment.
Use the yellow LAN cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to (one
of) the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet port(s).
In case of a single Ethernet port SpeedTouch™, you will need an external hub or
switch to connect multiple computers.
In case of a SpeedTouch™ switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of up to
four devices, without needing extra networking devices.
If you purchased a SpeedTouch™536/530v5 and you are not using the USB
!
connection, make sure to place the protective cap on the SpeedTouch™536/
530v5 USB port.
The SpeedTouch™ LED indicator(s) allow(s) you to check your Ethernet.
