Needed For Installation
Before connecting the MicroRouter 900i to your network, you need to
make sure that you have the necessary equipment for connecting to the
local Ethernet and the wide area transmission device(s) (modem, 56K
CSU/DSU, ISDN terminal adapter).
Ethernet Connection Requirements
The MicroRouter 900i’s Ethernet port directly supports thick, thin and
10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. Switching among the three ports is
automatic – simply plug the proper Ethernet connector into its port.
Other Ethernet cabling types (such as fiber optic cabling or
pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters which
connect to a thick Ethernet port.
