Connect Ethernet LAN to Router
The Router may be connected to any 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN with standard
Ethernet cable. The 4 dedicated RJ-45 ports on the Router are a crossed (MDI-X)
connection ports. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines for all cable connections,
including the 100-meter limit for cable lengths between stations. Use either
crossed cable, or normal straight-through cable with a cross-wired adapter when
connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use straight-
through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch.
When connecting the Router directly to an Ethernet adapter (MDI-II) on a PC or
server use a straight-through cable. A valid connection will be indicated by the
Ethernet Link LED indicator corresponding to the connected port.
The diagram below illustrates a variety of ways you can incorporate the Router
into your Ethernet.
