(All the Ethernet
Ports on the ADSL

Network cables can
be used).
To connect the ADSL Router to your Computer/Notebook, you need to have an Ethernet Port present
on your Computer/Notebook.
(See the following note if you are not sure of how an Ethernet Port looks like).
Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook
The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Port on your
Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that
comes with your Computer/Notebook.
Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet Port,
you will see either ETHERNET,ETH or RJ45 labelled near the Port.
If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the following.
-Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have 8
conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that has only
6 conductors.
- An Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than a LINE Port.
