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.
