2.3  Cable Connections  
After verifying proper environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and power supply, users 
may start the cable connections as following. 
 
2.3.1  Connecting the ADSL Line  
Use the ADSL cable included with the ADSL2+ Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or 
receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the ADSL2+ 
Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the 
instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection 
represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s 
network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.  
 
2.3.2  Connecting the ADSL2+ Router to the Ethernet LAN  
The ADSL2+ Router may be connected to a single computer or Ethernet device through the 10BASE-TX 
Ethernet port on the rear panel. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub 
must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the ADSL2+ Router to any Ethernet device 
that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation 
(NWay) enabled for the connecting port.  
Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the ADSL2+ Router is a 
crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make 
this connection. When connecting the ADSL2+ Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straight-
through cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the ADSL2+ Router to a normal (MDI-X) 
port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on 
a hub or switch.  
The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to ADSL2+ Router connection. Be sure that 
the cable connecting the LAN to the ADSL2+ Router does not exceed 100 meters.
