Connecting the OSU to a network
Note: Use only one OSU on a network. Do not use multiple OSUs on the same network.
To directly connect the OSU to a computer, use an Ethernet cable (also known as a straight-
through cable).
However, to connect the OSU to a hub or switch, use an Ethernet cable appropriate for your
network device. This might be a straight through or cross-over cable, depending on how your
network device switches signals. When determining how to set up your network, remember
that the OSU device operates as a hub or a bridge.
After connecting the OSU to the network device, power the OSU and scan for a service
provider signal, as described in earlier sections of this guide.
