Connecting the Router to Other Hubs or Switches If you are connecting the Analog Router to a Fast Ethernet hub, remember that Fast Ethernet rules only allow two hubs to be connected together, or cascaded, within a single repeater domain. This means you can only uplink to or from one other device on a Fast Ethernet network. To uplink the router, simply push the uplink button on the back of the router next to the AC port. You may need to use a pen or other small pointed object. Connect a regular straight-through Category 5 cable from the Analog Router's uplink port to any regular network port on the hub or switch being uplinked. The Analog Router will automatically determine the optimum speed of the device being attached to it. The router can be uplinked to other 100Mbps hubs at a distance of 5 meters (16.4 feet) -- just like Fast Ethernet or 10/100 hubs. 11

Connecting the Router to Other Hubs or
Switches
If you are connecting the Analog Router to a Fast
Ethernet hub, remember that Fast Ethernet rules only
allow two hubs to be connected together, or
cascaded
,
within a single repeater domain. This means you can
only uplink to or from one other device on a Fast
Ethernet network.
To uplink the router, simply push the uplink button on
the back of the router next to the AC port. You may
need to use a pen or other small pointed object.
Connect a regular straight-through Category 5 cable
from the Analog Router’s uplink port to any regular
network port on the hub or switch being uplinked. The
Analog Router will automatically determine the opti-
mum speed of the device being attached to it.
The router can be uplinked to other 100Mbps hubs at
a distance of 5 meters (16.4 feet) -- just like Fast
Ethernet or 10/100 hubs.
