Application Setup Questions
1.
What does my computer need to connect to the Router?
You will need an ethernet card that supports a 10baseT (RJ-45
jack) ethernet interface.
If you intend to connect your computer directly to the Router
without a hub in between, you will need to use a ‘crossover’
cable and a 10baseT ethernet card. The ‘crossover’ cable is a 4-
pair RJ-45 cable with pins #1 and #3 swapped, and pins #2 and #6
swapped.
To initially configure your Router, you need to have an RS-232
cable and a communications program on your computer.
In order to access the WAN (Wide Area Network) on the Router's
ISDN connection, you need to have a Ethernet connection in your
computer.
