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.
