1.1. Ethernet
For Ethernet equipped GRouter devices, first configure the host computer to add an IP interface
on subnet 10.0.2.0/255. Connect one end of a Cat5 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 on the GRouter
device and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch or directly to a computer with a crossover
cable or straight through if the computer’s Ethernet port supports auto crossover (Auto MDIX).
e GRouter Ethernet port is MDI only. In cases where the LAN does not support the default
subnet, a direct connection between the GRouter device and the web browser host computer will
be needed.
