Connecting the Ethernet Cable

If you have the Cisco DVB CAR100-PC, proceed to the "Connecting to a Single Computer" section. If you have the Cisco DVB CAR100-LAN and are connecting to an Ethernet hub or an existing LAN network, proceed to the "Connecting to Multiple Computers" section.

Connecting to a Single Computer

Prior to connecting the power supply, connect the Cisco DVB CAR100-PC to the single computer, using a crossover Ethernet cable (Class 5, shielded, RJ-45).

Tip The Ethernet port is located on the back of the computer if an internal Ethernet card is installed. On a laptop computer, the Ethernet port is usually located on an adapter cable connected to a PCMCIA (PC) card installed in the computer's PCMCIA slot.
If you need additional information to locate the Ethernet port on the computer, consult the user documentation for the computer.

Connecting to Multiple Computers

Prior to connecting the power supply, connect the Cisco DVB CAR100-LAN to multiple computers, using a straight-through Ethernet cable (Class 5, shielded, RJ-45) and an Ethernet hub.
