Normally, the “Hub” port is used to connect the CNWR-811P to your LAN. But if desired,
the “PC” port can be used to connect the CNWR-811P directly to your PC, using a stan-
dard LAN cable.

via the CNWR-811P's built-in static routing table. If NAT (Network Address Translation)
is disabled, the CNWR-811P will function as a static router.
