Port		Description


T1 WAN port	An RJ-48 jack labeled WAN for your T1 connection.
Ethernet port	RJ-45 10/100Base-T Ethernet jack. You will use this to conﬁgure the Netopia 4522. For
	a new installation, use an Ethernet connection. Alternatively, you can use the console
	connection to run console-based management using a direct serial connection. You can
	either connect your computer directly to the Ethernet port using a crossover Ethernet
	cable (not supplied), or connect both your computer and the Netopia 4522 to an existing
	LAN environment.

Console port	A DB-9 console port for a direct serial connection to the console screens. You can use
	this if you are an experienced user. See “Connecting a Console Cable to Your Router” on
	page 5-3.

Power port	A mini-DIN8 power adapter cable connection.

1.Connect the mini-DIN8 connector from the power adapter to the power port, and plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

2.Connect one end of the Category 5 cable to the T1 port, and the other end to your T1 wall outlet.

3.Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the router and the other end to your computer.

You should now have: the power adapter plugged in; the Ethernet cable connected between the router and your computer; and the T1 cable connected between the router and the T1 wall outlet.
