1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the TW100-BRV204 .
Ensure the TW100-BRV204 and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the TW100-
BRV204 . Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
If required, you can connect any LAN port to another Hub. Any LAN port on the TW100-
BRV204 will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. Just connect any
LAN port to a normal port on the other hub, using a standard LAN cable.
If desired, connect a PC (server) to the DMZ port. To use multiple servers, use a standard
LAN cable to connect the DMZ port to a normal port on another hub, and connect your
servers to the hub. PCs connected to the DMZ port are isolated from your LAN.
