Chapter 2 Installation
Installing the Router
Connecting Ethernet Devices
You can use a cable to connect an Ethernet device to the router’s LAN port.
Connecting a Server, PC, or Workstation
Follow the steps given after Figure 2-3to connect the router to a PC with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed, or to connect a server or workstation to the router. (Figure 2-3shows a Cisco 837 router, but it also applies to a SOHO 97 router. The procedure applies to both the Cisco 837 router and the SOHO 97 router.)
The Ethernet port on the Cisco 837 router and the SOHO 97 router supports the auto-crossover function, whose autosensing ability allows the router to connect automatically to the hub or PC.
