Hub or Switch to Modem Connection 

Connect the Modem to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable as 
shown in the diagram below: 

 

If you wish to reserve the
uplink port on the switch or
hub for another device,
connect to any on the other
MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.)
with a crossed cable.
