Installation
Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Broadband
Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of
the LAN ports on the Router 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 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into
position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45
connectors for all Ethernet ports. Category 5 cable is recommended.
Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters
(328 feet).
Connect the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the
Broadband Router, and the other end into a power outlet.
In case of a power input failure, the Broadband Router will
automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is
restored.
