1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install the Broadband Router. Ensure the Broadband Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the Broadband Router. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simul- taneously.
If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable. Any LAN port on the Broadband Router will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required.
