Connecting to the Internet
The internet server must be connected to the internet (this is also
known as a “Wide Area Network or ‘WAN’” connection) using a
COM serial port. A COM port can either be connected to the serial
port of a modem (or fax/modem), or to an ISDN terminal adapter.
This internet server model has two COM ports and can therefore
have two WAN connections. Any combination of different types of
WAN connections will work. The faster the WAN connections are,
the faster access will be and the more users will be able to get on
the internet simultaneously.
Connect the COM port of the internet server to a modem or ISDN
terminal adapter using a standard serial cable.
Connecting Power
Power is supplied to the internet server through an AC power
adapter. Check the technical specifications section for information
about the AC power input voltage.
Since the internet server does not include a power switch, plug-
ging its power adapter into a power outlet will immediately power
it on.
