SpaceLink™ Home Gateway Topology
There are three major ways to deploy the home gateway in your local
network (I) Network backbone, (II) Agent to ISP and (III) Agent to another
network.
In this topology, the home gateway connects your wired and wireless devices
together to form a local area network (LAN), as shown. To connect a
computer (or other device) to the SpaceLink Home Gateway, you need a
network cable (UTP-Cat5) with one end connected to one of the LAN ports
on the back of the SpaceLink Home Gateway and the other in the 10/100
LAN port on that device. For wireless connections, wireless mobile clients
must comply with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
