Wired local area network (Ethernet)
In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable.
When the router Gigaset 504 AGU is used, it establishes the connection between the
PCs. For this the 504 series has four Ethernet LAN ports for connecting four PCs. The 501
series has one Ethernet LAN port. The PCs have to be equipped with a network port (Eth-
ernet).
New PCs frequently already have this port. For older PCs you need to install an Ethernet
network card.
The PC and the Ethernet LAN port on the router are connected using an Ethernet cable
(CAT5). One Ethernet cable is supplied. Additional ones can be obtained from your
retailer.
The router Gigaset 504 AGU allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.
