Notes
• Use a category 5 Ethernet cable when connecting to the Access Point.
• Normally, an Ethernet straight-through cable is used when connecting a communication
device to the NETWORK 1 connector, but depending on the device you may need to
use an Ethernet cable with crossover wiring. When connecting to the Access Point, use
the same type of cable that you would use to connect the communication device to your
computer. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the communication device
you are using.
• When connecting the hub to the NETWORK 2 connector, use an Ethernet straight-
through cable. When connecting the computer directly to the Access Point, use an
Ethernet crossover cable.
z Hints
• The cable supplied with the Access Point is an Ethernet straight-through cable.
