2.4 Cabling
Through Ethernet Port
The product’s LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the product directly to a PC, the cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the product to a hub or switch, the cable should be an Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink port.
The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a first check, please verify that the PWR, LAN LNK and ADSL SYN LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.
