2-2 Setting Up the Hardware
Local Network Hardware Requirements
The Model RP114 Web Safe Router is intended for use in a network of personal computers (PCs)
that are interconnected by twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
PC Requirements
To install and run the Model RP114 router over your network of PCs, each PC must have the
following:
• An installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).
• A connection to the network via a hub or switch. If all PCs on the network will not run at the
same speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), you need to use a dual-speed hub or switch. The Model
RP114 router provides a 4-port switch capable of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation.
Links operating at 100 Mbps must be connected with Category 5 cable.
Access Device Requirement
The shared broadband access device (cable modem or DSL modem) must provide a standard
10BASE-T Ethernet interface.
