Connecting Cables to the Router
Connecting a Hub
This section describes how to connect a hub to the router Ethernet 4 port.
The TO HUB/TO PC button identifies the device that you connect to the yellow Ethernet 4 port, using
the yellow Ethernet cable. For example, setting the button to the TO HUB position (in) indicates that you
are connecting a hub; setting the button to the TO PC position (out) indicates that you are connecting a
server, PC, or workstation. For information on how the settings of this button on a hub can affect the
setting of this router, refer to the Cisco 828 Router and SOHO 78 Router Hardware Installation Guide.
You can use the yellow Ethernet cable to connect a server, PC, or workstation to any of the four Ethernet
ports. However, if you want to connect a hub to a port other than the ETHERNET 4 port, you must use
a crossover cable, which is not included with the router.
To connect a hub to the router, follow the steps in
