Choice 5: Network with Ethernet hub/switch
To connect your computer to the HomePortal via Ethernet hub:
1.
Verify the computer has an Ethernet card.
Note: If you are not sure whether your computer has an Ethernet card, see
“Troubleshooting installation” on page 9-1.
2.
If you have not already done so, connect each Ethernet device’s network
card to the hub with a network cable, similar to the dark-gray cable
included with the HomePortal.
Note: You can purchase additional Ethernet cables at any consumer
electronics retailer.
3.
Make sure your Ethernet hub’s power adapter is plugged into an AC
power outlet.
