This is the maximum signal path in twisted-pair Ethernet. Also be sure never to allow a signal loop to form.

Note that you can connect an end node through the Uplink jack, but to do so you must use a cross-wired cable or cable converter.

Step 6 - Powering Up Devices for Initial Configuration

Plug in the included 18V DC, 750 mA power adapter into the power jack on the router’s rear panel.

You should have now connected the RS-232 cable to the console, the ISDN phone line, one or more Ethernet cables, and the power adapter.

At this point in the installation process you can now power up the console computer, run the terminal emulation software (if necessary), and then power up the DI-206.

Step 7 - Initial Configuration of the Router

After the console is properly connected and both devices are powered on as described in the preceding sections, you should see the router run through the power on self test (POST). Finally, it will arrive at the logon screen shown below. If the login screen does not appear, press <Ctrl> + <R> to refresh the screen.
