Planning Your Network
Before moving ahead to setup your network, it is a good idea to draw out a
network diagram to help identify your network devices and plan out how to
connect these devices.
Separate network diagrams are provided for both ADSL and Fibre subscribers.
For ADSL Subscribers:
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
Ethernet 1 – Mom’s Computer
Ethernet 2 – Game Console
Ethernet 3 – Dad’s Computer
Ethernet 4 – Set Top Box
DSL/LINE - DSL Microfilter
*Ethernet port 4 is primarily
reserved for Set Top Box

25 on a remote server hosting this application, using Port Triggering on the
router, incoming connections to port 113 (from the remote server) could be
redirected to the PC that initiated the request. A maximum of 32 Port
Triggering entries can be configured.
