If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or Cable modem, use unshielded
or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to
connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the CheetahAccess
Wireless Gateway. Use either straight-through or crossover cable depending on the
port type provided by the modem (see Appendix B).
For ISDN or PSTN service,
attach the access device to the RS-232 serial port on the CheetahAccess Wireless
Gateway.
