port of an Ethernet-ready device.  Make sure that the Ethernet-ready device is
powered on before proceeding.

Once the cable is attached to both devices, the Cordless Gateway’s green
Link LED should illuminate.  This LED lights up when an Ethernet link is
detected and, on occasion, will blink off momentarily to reflect Ethernet
activity.  However, if the Link LED does not light up and remain on (only
blinking off momentarily) when the cable is attached, then the 10BaseT
crossover cable is not the correct cable for this connection.  In this case, you
need to obtain a standard 10BaseT cable in order to connect the Cordless
Gateway to the Ethernet-ready device.  Do not proceed to Step #5 until the
Cordless Gateway’s Link LED lights up and remains on (only occasionally
blinking off to reflect Ethernet activity).

In general, you will use the 10BaseT crossover cable, provided in the product
package, to connect the Cordless Gateway to a high-speed Internet device,
such as a cable modem, xDSL modem, or ISDN router, or to a free port on an
Ethernet hub.  However, use a standard 10BaseT cable to connect the
Cordless Gateway to a single, stand-alone computer that has an Ethernet card
installed or to a standard Ethernet router; do NOT use the cable shipped with
the product.  See Appendix A for more information about the Cordless
Gateway’s cabling requirements.
