Æ page 216.
Connecting to the Network
The advance has two RJ-45 ports labelled “10/100 LAN” and “10/100 PC.”
Each port supports 10/100 Mbps half- or full-duplex connections.
We recommend that you use the port setting "Auto" Æ page 194 on all
ports for auto detection of transferring speed and type of connected cable
(either straight-through or crossed).
You have to connect the advance first to the LAN and then to the
power supply.
