Figure 7: Installation Diagram LB-2

1.Ensure the HotBrick Load Balancer LB-2 and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF. Leave the modem or modems connected to their data line.

2.Connect the Broadband modem or modems to the Load Balancer LB-2.

•If using only one (1) Broadband modem, connect it to the "WAN 1" port.

•Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.

3.Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the Load Balancer.

•Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.

•If you need to connect the Load Balancer LB-2 to another Hub, just use a standard LAN cable to connect any port on the Load Balancer LB-2 to a standard port on another hub. Any LAN port on the Load Balancer LB-2 will automatically act as an "Uplink" port when required.

4.Power Up

•Power on the Cable or DSL modem or modems.

•Connect the supplied power adapter to the Load Balancer LB-2 and power up.

5.Check the LEDs

•The Power LED should be ON.

•The WAN – Link LED should be ON, if the corresponding WAN port is connected to a broadband modem.

•The Error LED will flash during start up, but will then turn off. If it stays on, there is an error condition.
