CHAPTER 2

2.4.4 Attach the Gateway to the Internet

If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or Cable

modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet

cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to connect

the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the

Gateway. Use either straight-through or crossover cable

depending on the port type provided by the modem (see

Appendices "B. Cables"). For ISDN or PSTN service, attach

the access device to the RS232 serial port on the Gateway.

Figure 2-5. Making WAN Connections

Note:When connecting to the WAN port, use 100-ohm

Category 3, 4 or 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair

cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends for all con-

nections.
