If desired, connect a PC (server) to the DMZ port. To
use multiple servers, use a standard LAN cable to con-
nect the DMZ port to a normal port on another hub,
and connect your servers to the hub. PCs connected to
the DMZ port are isolated from your LAN.
3. Connect your DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port. Use
the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem, or a
standard network cable.
4. Connect the supplied Power Adapter and power on.
5. Check the LEDs
·
The Status LED should flash, then turn Off. If it stays
on, there is a hardware error.

The WAN LED should be ON.
For each active LAN (PC) connection, the LAN
Link/Act LED should be ON.
