2.4 Cabling
Through Ethernet Port
The product’s LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the product directly to a PC, the
cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the product to a hub or switch, the cable should be an
Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink
port.
The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure that all
connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a first check, please
verify that the PWR, LAN LNK and ADSL SYN LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the
proper cables.
