Chapter 2 – Installation
Cabling Your RF820 RouteFinder
Your RouteFinder requires making the appropriate connections to PCs, a cable or xDSL
modem, an analog modem or ISDN TA (RF820 only), and AC power.
After your device is properly cabled, it must be configured. See Chapter 3 for basic directions.
For advanced configurations, see the User Guide.
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. If using an analog modem, connect it to the RF820’s serial port.
4. Connect a network cable from the DSL or cable modem to the RouteFinder WAN port.
5. 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 RF820-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.
