Ethernet or USB?

There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Telepho-

ny Modem. The following will help you decide which is best for you:

Ethernet

Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local

Area Network (LAN). Use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in

Ethernet hardware, does not use Windows, or you want to share the Telephony Mo-

dem connection with several computers.

Note:

To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a

hub or broadband router (available at computer retailers).

The Telephony Modem package comes with a 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the

connectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if

necessary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Modem di-

rectly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-over

switch, ask for Category 5 (CAT5) straight-through cable. If you are connecting the

Telephony Modem to an Ethernet hub or broadband router without a crossover

switch, ask for a Category 5 crossover cable.

USB

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is meant for connecting a variety of accessories, such

as keyboards, mice, printers, and communications devices (including Telephony

Modems) to a single computer. Use the USB connection if you have only one com-

puter, and the computer is using a Windows operating system (Windows 98 Second

Edition or later), and has no built-in Ethernet hardware. The Telephony Modem

package comes with a 5-foot (1.6m) USB cable.

Both

If you have two or more computers, you can connect one computer to the Telepho-

ny Modem’s USB port and one or more other computers to the Ethernet port. To

connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a hub or broad-

band router (available at computer retailers).

For more information about connecting two or more computers, contact your cable

service provider.
