How to create a wired network using Ethernet cables

The Ethernet ports will adapt automatically to the connected cable type. This means you can use either type of Ethernet cable, straight-through or crossover, provided it is Category 5 or higher quality.The four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g will automatically negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the Local Network ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the Wireless Base Station 11g to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.

When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning:Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.This may damage the Wireless Base Station 11g. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors.
