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 full-wired straight-through RJ-45/RJ-45 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 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.
The SpeedTouch™ LED indicator(s) allow(s) you to check your Ethernet.
See " Ethernet LEDs" on page 9 for more information.
