Procedure
Figure 4: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the TW100-BRV304.
Ensure the TW100-BRV304 and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
•
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the TW100-
BRV304. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
•
If required, you can connect any LAN port to another Hub. Any LAN port on the TW100-
BRV304 will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. Just connect any
LAN port to a normal port on the other hub, using a standard LAN cable.
•
If desired, connect the DMZ port to a standard port on another Hub. PCs connected this
hub will also gain Internet access, but will NOT be able to access the rest of the LAN.
