EFORE
YOU
BEGIN
•
Make sure your computer is equipped with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC).
•
The Ethernet cable that is supplied with your RSU plugs into any standard Ethernet NIC.
The NIC is not provided with the RSU, but you can purchase a NIC at most computer
and electronics stores.
•
Find an appropriate location for your RSU.
•
Make sure you are operating the RSU in a room near an outside window on the first or
second floor of your home or office.
•
You need to locate the RSU close to a wall outlet. The RSU uses a standard power supply
and can sit on a desktop or shelf.
•
Your RSU comes with a category-5 Ethernet cable. If you choose to place the RSU a
good distance from your computer, you may need to purchase a longer Ethernet cable.
If you purchase a cable, make sure the cable is a category-5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connectors on each end.
