Wired Ethernet LAN
You can easily connect any PC with an Ethernet LAN port to the SBG901 Ethernet
connection. Because the SBG901 Ethernet port supports auto-MDIX
, you can use
straight-through or cross-over cable to connect a hub, switch, or computer. Use
category 5, or better, cabling for all Ethernet connections.

Sample Ethernet to Computer Connection
A wired Ethernet LAN with more than one computer requires one or more hubs,
switches, or routers. You can:
•
Connect a hub or switch to the Ethernet port on the SBG901.
•
Use Ethernet hubs, switches, or routers to connect up to a combination of 245
computers and wireless clients to the SBG901.
