Figure 2-2. Connecting the CheetahAccess™ Wireless Gateway
Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The three LAN ports on the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway can auto-negotiate
the connection speed to 10Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as
the transmission mode to half-duplex or full-duplex. These LAN ports also support
auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to use
straight-through cable for connecting the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to any
network device. (See Appendix B for details on wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three LAN ports on the CheetahAccess
Wireless Gateway to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can cascade
any of LAN ports on the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway to an Ethernet hub or
switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.
When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
