Connect Ethernet LAN to Router
The Router may be connected to any 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN. 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 4 dedicated RJ-45 ports on the Router are a
crossed (MDI-X) connection ports. 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 Ethernet Link LED indicator will indicate a valid connection.
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
as shown in the diagram below:
Power On Router
To power on the device:
1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the back of the Router and plug

If you wish to reserve the
uplink port on the switch o
r
hub for another device,
connect to any on the othe
r
MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with
a cross-wired cable or use
crossover adapter.
