Attach the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway to the Internet
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
Internet 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 Internet
Gateway.
Figure 2-4. Making WAN Connections
Note:
When connecting to the WAN port, use 100-ohm Category 3, 4 or 5 shielded or
unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends for all
connections.
Connect a Printer
If you connect a printer to the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway, all the computer
users connected to your LAN can have access to this printer. Connect a standard
parallel printer cable to the Printer port on the CheetahAccess Internet Gateway, and
configure the printer server as described on page 6-1.
Connect the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the CheetahAccess Internet
Gateway, and the other end into a power outlet. Check the indicator marked Power
on the front panel to be sure it is on. If the Power indicator does not light up, refer to
Troubleshooting in Appendix A.
