Reference Guide for the Model RT328 and Model RH348 ISDN Routers

Using Twisted Pair LAN Cabling

Use the UTP port for connecting your router to a 10BASE-T network, using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling and RJ-45 connectors. The following two types of UTP cable are included with your router:

Straight-through Ethernet cable

Use the white straight-through cable to connect your router to an Ethernet hub.

Crossover Ethernet cable

Use the red crossover Ethernet cable to connect your router to a PC or workstation.

Using Coaxial or Fiber LAN Cabling

Use the AUI port for connecting to a transceiver, which provides an interface to coaxial or fiber

Ethernet networks.

Connecting to the Hub Ports in the Model RH348 Router

The Model RH348 router provides four Ethernet twisted pair hub ports for connecting to PCs and workstations. Connections are made using standard straight-through UTP cables like the one included with your router. The hub of the Model RH348 router may be connected to another hub using the uplink port on the hub to which you are connecting or by using a crossover cable to a normal port.

Connecting a Telephone, Fax, or Modem

Use either one of the phone ports (PHONE 1 or PHONE 2) for connecting your router to an analog telephone, fax, or modem. Be sure that your ISDN line is provisioned by your telephone company for both data and voice calls.

Connecting the Power Adapter

Plug the connector of the 16 V AC power adapter into the AC adapter outlet on the router. Then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
