Connecting the OmniConnect

1. Connect the modem serial cable(s) (DB-9 Female to DB-9 Female) to the

OmniConnect at the rear panel connector.

2. Connect the modem to the standard modem line(s) using RJ-11 telephone

cable(s) (one provided).

3. Connect the Ethernet LAN devices to the OmniConnect at the rear panel

connectors. Use a straight through RJ45 cable (one provided) to connect to
the PC through a 10 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC). To connect a LAN to the OmniConnect, use a straight through cable to
Port 1 and move the MDI switch to the ON position (use a non-conductive
[plastic] object to move the switch through the case access on the bottom of
the OmniConnect). This eliminates the need for a crossover cable.

For your convenience, a flexible cable tie at the right rear of the LanEdge

source for this adapter. Next connect the DC cable from the adapter into the
OmniConnect DC input.

Verify that the Power LED lights (see LED table).

5. Verify that the Ethernet LEDs light green (see LED table).
