CONNECTIONS

Note

After connecting to the Internet, set up necessary network settings.

Do not insert any cable other than a LAN cable to the ETHERNET terminal to avoid damaging the unit.

If your telecommunications equipment (modem, etc.) does not have broadband router functions, connect a broadband router.

If your telecommunications equipment (modem, etc.) has broadband router functions but there is no vacant port, use a hub.

For a broadband router, use a router which supports 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX.

Do not connect your PC directly to the ETHERNET terminal of this unit.

For the network setup, refer to “Network Connection” on pages 52-55.

For more information about cables or connections, see the manual accompanying modem, broadband router and hub you use.

Please purchase shielded LAN cables at your local store and use them when you connect to network equipment.
