Needed For Installation

Before connecting the MicroRouter 900i to your network, you need to make sure that you have the necessary equipment for connecting to the local Ethernet and the wide area transmission device(s) (modem, 56K CSU/DSU, ISDN terminal adapter).

Ethernet Connection Requirements

The MicroRouter 900i’s Ethernet port directly supports thick, thin and 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. Switching among the three ports is automatic – simply plug the proper Ethernet connector into its port. Other Ethernet cabling types (such as fiber optic cabling or pre-10BaseT twisted-pair) can be supported using adapters which connect to a thick Ethernet port.
