on the AR100 using a UTP Ethernet cable (obtained from your authorised
Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller).
Note: If you connect your PC to LAN port 4, make sure the PC/Hub switch is
in the out/PC position. If you connect your PC to LAN port 1, 2 or 3 this button
is not used. (If you use a crossover cable instead of a direct cable, this switch
should be in the opposite position for either a PC or a hub connection.)

facsimile machines, or answer phones to the phone ports.
