Hardware Description

The Router can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and

640 Kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to

1.5Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem type connected to the Router, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.

The Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.

•4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
