• 4/8 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-
negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/
full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X (i.e., allowing
these ports to be connected to any network device with
straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to
a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface
card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
Port 8 on the SMC7008ABR offers an MDI-X or MDI option by
way of separate RJ-45 sockets.
• One RJ-45 port for connection to an xDSL or Cable modem.
This port is fixed at 10/100 Mbps, full duplex. This port only
supports MDI-X pin signals, so you will have to use either
straight- through or crossover cable depending on the port type
used on the modem.
• One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal Adapter
(TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.
• One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer. This
printer can then be shared by any LAN users.
