CHAPTER 2

2.4.2 Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet

Cabling

The three LAN ports on the Gateway can auto-negotiate the

connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast

Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to half duplex or

full duplex. These LAN ports also support auto-configura-

tion for pin signals (auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to

use straight-through cable for connecting the Gateway to

any network device. (See Appendices "B. Cables" for

details on wiring.)

Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three LAN

ports on the Gateway to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.

Otherwise, you can cascade any of LAN ports on the

Gateway to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect

your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.

When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug

clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning:

Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.

This may damage the Gateway. Instead, use only twisted-

pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC

standards.
