Configuring the LAN and USB Ports
This chapter describes how to configure IP properties for the interfaces on the
ADSL/Ethernet router that communicate with your LAN and USB computers.
Connecting via Ethernet and/or USB
If you are using the ADSL/Ethernet router with multiple PCs on your LAN, you must connect
the LAN via an Ethernet hub to the device's LAN port, called eth-0.
If you are using a single PC with the ADSL/Ethernet router, you have two options for connecting it
to the device:
fYou can connect the PC directly to the LAN port
using a crossover Ethernet cable. See Appendix 0,
“Troubleshooting“ for a description of crossover
versus straight-through Ethernet cables.
fIf the PC is USB-enabled, you can connect it directly
to the device's USB port, called usb-0. Only one
computer can be connected in this manner.
You can also use the USB and Ethernet ports simultaneously, connecting your LAN to the
Ethernet port and a standalone PC to the USB port.
You must assign a unique IP address to each device port that you use.
