DSL-300 ADSL Ethernet Modem User's Guide Connect Ethernet LAN to Modem The Modem may be connected to any 10BASE-T Ethernet LAN. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10 Mbps only. Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Modem is a straight-through (MDI-II) port. Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. You should use a normal straight-through cable when connecting the Modem to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a crossed cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. When connecting the Modem directly to a PC or server use a crossed cable. A valid connection will be indicated by the Ethernet Link LED indicator. The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Modem connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Modem does not exceed 100 meters. Ethernet LAN to Modem Connection 7
