Efficient Networks® 5930 Business Gateway User Reference Guide Chapter 3: Frequently Asked Questions CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 3 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Which cable do I use to connect a new LAN device to the router? If you are connecting your LAN device to one of the Ethernet ports on your router, use an RJ-45 cable. The ports of the 5930 Ethernet switch will automatically sense whether the connection is to a PC, or to another hub or switch. Can I connect the router to a 100Base-T hub? Yes.
Chapter 3: Frequently Asked Questions Efficient Networks® 5930 Business Gateway User Reference Guide What is MER? MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing) allows your router to perform routing on the LAN side and bridging on the WAN side. MER is needed only when your Network Service Provider doesn’t support IP routing. MER adds NAT functionality, thereby providing greater security and more IP addresses for your LAN than what is provided by your NSP.
