Installing the RJ-45 (Ethernet) Cabling
Remember that if you choose to use the RJ-45
port on your HomeLink card, the RJ-11 Phoneline
networking capabilities automatically become dis-
abled. The two cannot operate at the same time.
Attach one end of an Ethernet cable into the
HomeLink card's RJ-45 port. Plug the other end of
the cable into a 10BaseT or 10/100 switching hub.
If you plan to use both 10BaseT and 100Mbps
network segments on the same network, you'll
need a dual-speed hub or switch that allows seg-
ments of different speeds to communicate. For
more information on 10/100 dual-speed hubs and
switches, visit the Linksys web site or call (949)
261-1288.
