Connecting more than four computers

In certain cases, you may want to share the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem with more than four computers. To do this, you can connect the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem to an Ethernet hub. This connection requires either a special Ethernet cable, called a cross-over, or you can use the supplied blue cable if the hub has a cross-over switch. Try connecting the supplied blue cable to the hub, if the green Ethernet light on the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem does not light up, you need a special cross-over cable.
