To connect your 10Base-T network to the Netopia R9100 through an Ethernet port, use a 10Base-T cable with RJ-45 connectors.

If you have more than eight devices to connect, you can attach additional devices using either a 10Base-T hub or an EtherWave daisy chain, or some combination of both.

If you add devices connected through a hub, connect the hub to Ethernet port number 1 on the Netopia R9100 and set the Normal/Uplink switch to Uplink.

When there are no more free ports on the 10Base-T hub, the network can be extended using EtherWave, a daisy-chainable solution from Farallon.
