Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The three LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade Plus can auto-negotiate
the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as
well as the transmission mode to half-duplex or full-duplex. These
LAN ports also support auto-configuration for pin signals
(auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to use straight-through cable for
connecting the Wireless Barricade Plus to any network device. (See
Appendix B for details on wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three LAN ports on the
Wireless Barricade Plus to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise,
you can cascade any of LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade Plus to an
Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network
equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the
tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
This may damage the Wireless Barricade Plus. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
