Chapter 3 - EASY INSTALLATION

To connect an existing LAN to the XRouter Pro:

As an alternative to connecting computers directly into the XRouter Pro’s LAN ports, you can also connect a pre-existing network of the computer to the XRouter Pro by uplinking your network’s central LAN hub to the XRouter Pro’s uplink port. (See Figure 3.1-3)

To connect a LAN hub to the XRouter Pro’s uplink port:

1.Set the DIP switch (located on the XRouter Pro’s rear panel just left of the No. 4 LAN port) from “straight” to “crossover” mode. (See Figure 3.1-2)

2.Plug one RJ-45 connector (of a standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable) to the XRouter Pro’s No. 4 LAN port.

3.Plug the other end of this Ethernet cable into an available port on the network hub.

NOTE: Multiple network hubs can be connected to the XRouter Pro’s LAN ports No.1-3 if these hubs are equipped with uplink ports. By daisy-chaining a series of hubs, you can connect up to 252 users to the XRouter Pro.
