2.4 Cabling
Through USB Port
The product can be used as a Network Adapter on your PC. That means you do not have to install a
network adapter first on your PC before connecting the ADSL Modem/Router. Just connect the supplied
USB cable to the USB port of the ADSL Modem/Router and connect the other end to the PC.
Make sure that your ADSL Modem/Router and PC are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of
LEDs. As a first check, please verify that the PWR, LAN LNK and ADSL SYN LEDs are lit.
So long as the cables are connected and the LEDs are lit normally, follow section
“3.1 Installing the
USB Driver”
below to setup this device.
Through Ethernet Port
The product’s LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the product directly to a PC, the
cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the product to a hub or switch, the cable should be an
Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink
port.
