How to create a wired network using Ethernet
cables
The Ethernet ports will adapt automatically to the connected cable type.
This means you can use either type of Ethernet cable, straight-through or
crossover, provided it is Category 5 or higher quality.The four Local
Network ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g will
automatically negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or
100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full
duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four Local Network ports 1, 2,
3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet adapter on your
PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and
4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then
connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.
When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.This may damage
the Wireless Base Station 11g. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with
RJ-45 connectors.
