the Router. Use the Reset button to restore the settings to the factory default values in the next chapter for instructions
on using the reset button).
2.2 HARDWARE CONNECTION
The Router maintains three separate interfaces, an ADSL, an Ethernet, and a USB interface. Place the Router
in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source. The Router should not be
located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat. Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely
out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety
procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the
front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.
2.2.1 CONNECT ROUTER TO ETHERNET
The Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10/100 BASE-TX Ethernet
port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a
speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds
between 0~100Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port.
Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet ports are auto MDI-II/MDI-X so you may
connect with either MDI-II through or MDI-X crossed ports. The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN
to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 meters.
2.2.2 COMPUTER TO ROUTER CONNECTION
You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC or
notebook computer.
