2-2 Setting Up the Hardware
Local Network Hardware Requirements

that are interconnected by twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
PC Requirements
To install and run the Model RP114 router over your network of PCs, each PC must have the
following:
• An installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

Links operating at 100 Mbps must be connected with Category 5 cable.
