Network Connections

Connect xDSL Line

Use the xDSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or

receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the xDSL 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 xDSL 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

10BASE-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 higher

than 10Mbps, 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.

Hub or Switch to Router Connection

Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a

straight-through cable. If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for another

device, connect to any on the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.

Computer to Router Connection

You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed

on a PC using the Ethernet cable provided.
