Connect Ethernet LAN to Router

The Router may be connected to any 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN or Ethernet concentrating device. Connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub should use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The 4 dedicated RJ-45 ports on the Router are a crossed (MDI-X) connection ports. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. Use Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. You should use either crossed cable or normal straight-through cable and a cross- over adapter when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a straight-through cable. The Ethernet Link LED indicator corresponding to the connected port will indicate a valid connection.

The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed the 100-meter limit.

The diagram below illustrates a variety of ways you can incorporate the Router into your Ethernet.
