Hardware Description

The Base Station can be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its WAN port. It can be connected directly to
your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet
LAN ports.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by your
service type and the modem type connected to the Wireless
Router, data passing between the devices connected to your
local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast
Enternet ports.
The Base Station includes an LED display on the front panel
for system power and port indications that simplifies installation
and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN
ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.

• Four Ethernet ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These
ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps,
the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable). These ports can be
connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an
Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device
such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

• One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem
(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals
to MDI/MDI-X.

• A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet
converter.

• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.

• A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.5 or above, Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla 1.7 installed on
