Ethernet Ports (8)
The Ethernet ports connect devices to the Router via Ethernet cables to create
a local area network (
LAN ). The Ethernet ports are 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing
ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used
when connecting to the ports.
Broadband Port
The Broadband port connects the Router to the ISP using an Ethernet cable.
Reset Button
To restore the Router’s factory default settings, press and hold the Reset button
for approximately ten seconds. The reset process will start about
ten seconds
after releasing the button. When the Router resets, all the lights on the front
panel turn off, and then the lights start flashing. The Router has completed its
reset process when the Power light glows steadily green.
M Caution: Do not unplug the Power cord from the Router dur-
ing the reset process. Doing so may result in the loss of the
Router’s configuration information. If this occurs, reset the
Router again.
