Connecting Nodes to the Analog Router The Analog Router can be connected to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps PCs, workstations, file servers, print servers, or other hardware. When powered up, each of the router's 10/100 ports will automatically adjust to the proper speed, as determined by the speed of the hardware or node connected to the port. Connect each of your PCs, workstations, file servers, print servers, or other network nodes to the Analog Router one by one. Each node should be connected to the Ethernet connections on the router with a straightthrough, RJ-45, Category 5 cable. Each cable should be less than 100 meters (328 feet), in length. Readyto-use network cables of various lengths can be purchased at most computer stores. If you wish to crimp your own cabling for custom sites or lengths, see the appendix for cabling specifications. When connecting a PC to the Analog Router, either the computer or the router must be powered OFF. If both the computer and the router are turned on while the connection is completed, the network may act erratically. If this happens, reset the router by turning it off and then back on again. If the 4-Port Analog Router's uplink switch next to the last port is enabled (if the button is pushed in), then the port on the router closest to the AC adapter jack is set to be connected to another hub or switch. If you'd like to use the port to connect a workstation, simply release the uplink button. 10
