You will connect the DSL or cable modem
to the Wide Area Network (WAN) port.
You will connect devices on your Local
Area Network (LAN), such as PCs and
print servers, to the four LAN ports.
You can connect a cable from another
switch, router, or hub to the Uplink port to
add it to your network. Since the Uplink
port shares wiring with LAN port 1, port 1
will be disabled if a cable is plugged into
the Uplink port (and vice versa).
You will connect the included AC Power
Adapter to the Power port.
