Set the modem MDI/MDI-X switch for the 10/100Base-T port to allow the modem to connect directly to other network
devices such as a PC, hub, switch, or router.
Step Action
1 Set the modem MDI/MDI-X switch (see Figure 1-2 ) to one of the following:
• MDI-X when connecting to a device such as a PC Ethernet NIC card that has an MDI port
• MDI when connecting to a device such as a hub, switch, or router that have MDI-X ports
Figure 1-2. Set the MDI/MDI-X Switch
Note: Make sure the NIC in the PC and the modem LAN port are both set to either half- or
full-duplex for the transmission direction(s). If you need to change the modem LAN port setting
to match the NIC, follow the procedures in
“Manage DSL” on page A-17 (half-duplex is the
default setting).
