This ADSL Gateway Router is a high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
modem that can connect to an ADSL Internet service provider.
This unit provides the following ports on the rear panel:
◆
One RJ-11 port for connection to your ADSL service provider’s incoming
line.
◆
One RJ-45 port for connection to a PC, or to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet
Local Area Network switch. This port operates at 10/100 Mbps, half/full
duplex. It supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections. (See
“10/
100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page 119
.)
◆
One USB port for connection to a PC (if an RJ-45 Ethernet port is not
available).
