Ethernet gateway ports
WAN (dark gray) | You will connect the DSL or cable modem |
| to the Wide Area Network (WAN) port. |
|
|
LAN Ports | You will connect devices on your Local |
| Area Network (LAN), such as PCs and |
| print servers, to the four LAN ports. |
|
|
Uplink Port (yellow) | You can connect a cable from another |
| switch, router, or hub to the Uplink port to |
| add it to your network. Since the Uplink |
| port shares wiring with LAN port 1, port 1 |
| will be disabled if a cable is plugged into |
| the Uplink port (and vice versa). |
|
|
Power | You will connect the included AC Power |
| Adapter to the Power port. |
