Macintosh and Linux users must connect the modem to
their computer's Ethernet port.
Windows users can connect the modem to their
computer's Ethernet port or USB port. We recommend
the Ethernet port if one is available. Note: Windows users
can connect two computers to the ADSL Duo, one on the
Ethernet port and the other on the USB port, and share
Internet access.
If you are using the Ethernet port:
Plug one end of the straight-through Ethernet (10BaseT) cable
into the modem's ETHERNET port and plug the other end
into your computer's Ethernet port.
If you are using the USB port:
Plug one end of the USB cable into the modem's USB jack
and the other end into your computer's USB port.
Note: You can also attach the ADSL Duo to an access point,
switch, or network hub via its ETHERNET port and thus
connect multiple computers.
If your hub has an uplink or daisy chain port, you can use
the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable to connect
the two.
If you are using a wireless access point, you need a
crossover Ethernet cable (sold separately).
Throughout this manual, when we refer to an ADSL Duo
Ethernet connection, it should be understood that this
connection may be to a computer, wireless access point, or
hub.
