Macsense Connectivity XRouter Pro - Manual (Page 10)

3.1.2 Connecting Computers to the XRouter Pro
When you complete connecting the XRouter Pro to your DSL or cable
modem, now you may connect the Macintosh or PC computers in your
local area network to the XRouter Pro. Two methods can be implemented
for the connection: (1) plugging computers directly into the XRouter Pro,
and (2) connecting the XRouter Pro to your LAN hub.
Connect Computers Directly to the XRouter Pro
NOTE: You will need an Ethernet cable for each additional computer con-
necting to the XRouter Pro.
1. Plug one RJ-45 connector (of a standard twisted-pair Ethernet
cable) to the Ethernet port on your computer.
2. Plug the other end of this cable to one of the XRouter Pro’s four
LAN ports (located on the left side of the XRouter Pro’s rear panel.
Refer to Figure 3.1.1)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each computer you wish to provide
Internet access to until all four XRouter Pro LAN ports are filled.
NOTE: To connect more than four computers to the XRouter Pro, simply plug
additional computers into a network hub and plug this hub into the XRouter
Pro’s uplink port. Read below for further instructions.
