CHAPTER 2
2.4.4 Attach the Gateway to the Internet
If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or Cable
modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet
cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to connect
the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the
Gateway. Use either straight-through or crossover cable
depending on the port type provided by the modem (see
Appendices "B. Cables"). For ISDN or PSTN service, attach
the access device to the RS232 serial port on the Gateway.
Figure 2-5. Making WAN Connections
Note:When connecting to the WAN port, use 100-ohm
Category 3, 4 or 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair
cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends for all con-
nections.
