Getting to Know the 4-Port EtherFast Cable/DSL Router

The 4-Port Router’s Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Router is where all of the Router’s connections are made.

The 4-Port Router’s Ports
WAN	The WAN (Wide Area Network) Port is where you
	will connect your cable or DSL modem.
Uplink	The Uplink Port is where you can expand your net-
	work by connecting to another switch or hub. The
	Uplink Port is shared with Port 1. Uplinking to
	another Router, switch or a hub is done by simply
	running a cable from the Uplink Port to the other
	device. If the Uplink port is being used, Port 1 will
	not work.
Ports 1-4	These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports are
	where you will connect networked devices, such as
	PCs, print servers, remote hard drives, and any-
	thing else you want to put on your network. If Port
	1 is being used, the Uplink Port will not work.
Power	The Power Port is where you will connect the
	included AC Power adapter.
