Pictorial Introduction

WAN Port

The WAN port is used to connect to an ADSL/Cable modem for linking to the Internet.

WAN MDI/MDIX Switch

The WAN MDI/MDIX switch (MDI= hub or modem side; MDIX= computer or server side) is used to adjust the cable connection of the WAN port. If the port is connected to a hub, you should move the switch to the “hub” side; if the port is connected to computer, you should move the switch to the computer side. As for the four LAN ports, there is no need to add additional switches for each cable connection. This is because the LAN ports support auto MDI/MDIX.

LAN Ports

The LAN ports are used to connect to a PC, server, hub, switch or other network devices on the intranet.

If you forget your password and/or IP settings, you will not be able to access the BOSS™. You can use the Reset Button to restore the factory settings. To initiate a reset, you must hold the button for at least 5 seconds.
