Hub or router that supports 100BASE-TX
Note
• If you connect the WT500 to a PC through a hub or router, the PC should have a 10BASE-
T/100BASE-TX auto switching NIC or a 100BASE-TX NIC.
• Use straight UTP (unshielded twisted pair) or STP (shielded twisted pair) cables that are
category 5 or better.
• Do not connect the WT500 to a PC directly. Direct communication without a hub or router is
not guaranteed to work.
