When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into
position to ensure that it is properly seated .
Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 por t. Use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that co nform to
FCC standards.
Notes: 1. When connec ting to a hub or switch, use crossover cabling.
(Refer to “Port And Cable Assignments” on page 15 for a
description of crossover cable).
2. Make sure the twisted-pair cable connected to the CPE LAN
port does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Powering OnPlug the power adapter cord into the DC 12V power socket on the side o f
the CPE, then plug the power adapter directly into a power outlet. Che ck
the LED marked POWER on the front panel to be sure it is on.
Configuring the TCP/IP ProtocolsTo connect the TigerAccess Extended Ethernet CPE to a computer
through its Ethernet port, the compute r must have an Ethernet network
adapter card installed, and be configured for the TCP/IP protocol. Many
service providers will configure TCP/IP for client computers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Ho st
Configuration Protocol, or DHCP. Other service providers may specify an
IP configuration (known as a static IP address), which must be entered
manually.
Carry out the following steps to check that the computer’s Ethernet port is
correctly configured for DHCP.
