Connection Instructions

1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, hubs,

switches, and cable or DSL modem.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the front of the Router (see

Figure 4-2). Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, hub, or

switch.

Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router.

3. Connect your cable or DSL modem’s Ethernet cable to one of the Router’s Internet ports.

Repeat this step to connect additional Internet devices to the Router’s other Internet ports.

4. If you want to use the DMZ port, connect an Ethernet cable to it, and connect the other end to the

appropriate network device, such as a public server.

5. Power on the cable or DSL modem and the other network device(s).

6. Connect the included power cord to the Router’s Power port on the back of the Router, as shown in Figure 4-

4, and then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.

The System LED on the front panel will light up as soon as the power adapter is connected properly.

If you need to configure your PCs, proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the PCs.” Otherwise, proceed to

“Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router.”
