Connecting the Ethernet ports
The RAS has a single 10/100 Ethernet interface for connection to your LAN (see figure 8). The Ethernet port
will autosense the correct speed of the local LAN and automatically negotiate half- or full-duplex operation.
This section describes connecting the RAS to the Ethernet LAN via an Ethernet hub, switch, or workstation.
