Hardware Installation 17
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on the
rear of the Home Station ADSL
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card of
your computer
3. Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise con-
figure it to remain in the same local network of the Home Station ADSL interface
(see chapter “Setting Up Your Computer”)
The LAN port on the Home Station ADSL auto-negotiates the connection speed and
the duplex mode with the connecting device.
Use twisted-pair cabling to connect the Home Station ADSL to an Ethernet adapter
on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the Home Station ADSL to
an Ethernet hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on
the connector clicks into position to ensure that is properly seated.
Do not plug a phone jack into RJ-45. This may damage the Home Station ADSL. Instead, use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.
Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. We rec-
ommend using Category 5 cable for connections with the device. Also, make sure the lenght of each twisted-
pair cable does not exceed 100 meters ( 328 feet ).
