Connecting to the LAN
Using an Ethernet LAN cable, you can connect the Gateway to a desktop computer,
notebook, hub, or switch. The Gateway supports auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can use either a
standard straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
1. Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to one of the four Ethernet ports on the rear panel
of the Gateway (see Figure 6).

another network device (see Figure 7).
