Figure 6: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install VRT-311 / VRT-311S.
Ensure VRT-311 / VRT-311S and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
•
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on VRT-311 / VRT-
311S. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
•
If required, you can connect any LAN port to another Hub. Any LAN port on VRT-311 /
VRT-311S will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. Just connect any
LAN port to a normal port on the other hub, using a standard LAN cable.
