Connecting the Ethernet Cable
Use an 8-pin Ethernet straight-through or crossover cable for the Ethernet connection.
Procedure
To connect an Ethernet Hub using a straight-through cable:
—
Insert one end of the straight-through cable into the ETHERNET jack on the
router and connect the other end to an Ethernet hub. Do not connect it to the
hub’s optional Uplink connection; the Uplink connection requires an Ethernet
crossover cable. To support multiple end-user systems, refer to
Increasing the
Number of End-User Systems
on page 16.
To connect a PC using a crossover cable:
—
Insert one end of the crossover cable into the ETHERNET jack on the router
and connect the other end of the cable to a PC with an Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC) installed.
