Network Connections

Network connections are provided through the ADSL port and the four Ethernet ports
on the back of the Router. See the Rear Panel diagram and the illustrations below for
examples.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or
receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear
panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using
a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the device or given to you
by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the
connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider's network backbone
and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/
100 BASE-TX Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet
concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps
only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at
speeds between 0~100Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay)
enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router
is a crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what
type of cable to use to make this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a
PC or server use a normal straight-through cable. You should use a crossed cable
when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal
straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be
sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.
