Hardware Setup
1. Remove the EtherFast 10/100 4-Port Analog Router
from its packaging. The area you plan to place the
router must be well ventilated. Leave at least 4"
behind the router to make room for the cable connec-
tions. Leave 2" on each side and 1" on top to ensure
good ventilation.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the Analog Router
DC12V power input, and plug the other end into the
nearest wall outlet. It will take between 10 and 30 sec-
onds for the router to fully boot up.
3. Connect up to four external modems to the Modem
connectors on the back of Modem Router (4 RJ-45
ports to the right of the 9-pin console port) using the
provided RJ-45 to serial cables. Do NOT connect your
modems to the Ethernet ports on the router. If you
find that you need extra cabling or adpaters, you can
find what you need at your local Linksys vendor.
4. Connect your workstations or hubs to the four
10/100 auto-sensing ports on the back of the router.
The port closest to the AC adapter can be readily used
to uplink to another hub. See page 11 for uplinking
information.
5. If you want to use Command Line Interface, con-
nect a PC or terminal to the console port using the
supplied serial null modem cable.
