4-Port Router’s Front Panel LEDs
The LAN Indicators
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is pow-
ered on.
Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED
is continuously lit up, the Router is successfully connected
to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3 or 4). If
the LED is flickering, the Router is actively sending or
receiving data over that port.
Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this
LED is lit up continuously, the connection made through
the corresponding port is running in Full Duplex mode. If
the LED flickers, the connection is experiencing collisions.
Infrequent collisions are normal.
If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with
your connection. See the Troubleshooting section if you
have problems.
100 Orange. The 100 LED lights up when a successful
100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding
port.
If this LED is not lighting up, then your connection speed is
10 Mbps.

Getting to Know the 4-Port
EtherFast Cable/DSL Router
The 4-Port Router’s Rear Panel
Your Router’s ports, where network cables are connected, are located on the
rear panel of your Router.
The 4-Port Router’s Ports
WA N The WA N (Wide Area Network) port is where you
connect your cable or DSL modem.
Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports con-
nect to network devices, such as PCs, print servers,
and remote hard drives. If port 1 is being used, the
Uplink port will not work- these two shared ports
have internally shared wiring.
Uplink The Uplink port is used to expand your network
by connecting to another switch or hub. Uplinking
to another Router, switch or a hub is done by sim-
ply running a cable from the Uplink port to the
other device. See page 10 for more on uplinking.
If the Uplink port is being used, Port 1 will not
work.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the
power adapter. Be sure to connect the power cord
to the power adapter before plugging it in.
