56CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE DUAL 56K LAN MODEM FOR INTERNET ACCESS

Connecting an External Hub to the Dual 56K LAN Modem

Once you have ﬁnished conﬁguring the Dual 56K LAN Modem, you can connect up to three additional computers, or a combination of an external Ethernet hub and computers to increase the number of users for WAN access to 25.

Figure 35 shows the more common scenario of an additional 8-port hub for a 10-user, shared WAN connection.

Before You Begin To create a shared WAN connection for more than four users on the Dual 56K LAN Modem, you will need the following:

■A 10BASE-T Ethernet hub, such as the OfﬁceConnect Ethernet Hub 8

■A 10BASE-T Ethernet cable (two RJ-45 to RJ-45 connector ends, not provided)

■A 10BASE-T Ethernet cable for each additional workstation

If the hub you are using does not have an MDI/MDIX switch, you will have to use a crossover cable.
