10 Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. RF820/RF820-AP & RF830/RF830-AP Quick Start Guide
Cabling Your RF830 RouteFinder
1. Turn the power off on all network devices (PCs, cable modems, DSL modems, analog
modems, ISDN TAs, and the router).
2. Plug one end of a RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet port on the PC and other into one of the
LAN port on the RouteFinder. (If you have more than one PC, connect the others in the
same way to the other LAN ports).
3. Connect a network cable from the DSL or cable modem to the WAN port on the
RouteFinder. A second WAN port is provided for connecting a second DSL modem or
cable modem that uses a different Internet Service Provider (ISP). This gives you the
option to switch from one ISP to another in case one provider is not available.
4. Connect the provided power supply cable to the 12VDC power port on the back of the
RouteFinder, and plug the other end of the power supply into an AC power outlet.
Cabling the RF830-AP
Use the cabling procedures above and attach the wireless antenna. See the Back Panel
section earlier in this chapter for the location of the antenna connector.
Note: The antenna must be attached in order for the RouteFinder to be operational.
