4.2 Cable Connectors and Switch Locations
• DSL connector (RJ-11)
• Reset push button
• Four Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors with optional E1/UPLINK port and optional E4/DATA port
NOTE:
1. When using the optional E1/ UPLINK jack (when Gateway is configured for WAN Uplink mode), Ethernet
LAN connection is limited to ports E2, E3, and E4. The Uplink feature is optional. If Uplink is not enabled
via the Web pages, your Gateway will use DSL as the WAN interface.
2. If you desire to install your Gateway using a USB cable, use the optional E4/DATA port, which can be
used for either USB or Ethernet installation. Refer to section 5, “Hardware Installations,” for hardware
installation instructions.

4.3 Connector Descriptions
The following chart displays the Gateway’s connector types.
N
AME TYPE FUNCTION
DSL LINE Modular 6-pin (RJ-11) DSL jack
Connects the Gateway to a telephone jack that has active
DSL service or to the DSL port of a POTS splitter.
E1/UPLINK Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Gateway to a PC or Hub via 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet.
E2/E3/E4 Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Gateway to a PC or Hub via 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet.
E4/DATA Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Y-cable provided with the kit to the 10/100
Base-T Ethernet
DATA port on the rear of the Gateway
and to the Ethernet port on a PC or Hub. The USB connector
built in to the Y-cable also functions through the
Gateway’s E4/DATA port. When the Ethernet connector is
plugged in to the Gateway’s DATA port, the USB cable can
then be plugged in to the USB port on a PC or Hub. Thus, the
Y-cable provides Internet connectivity via Ethernet or USB;
however, both connectors cannot be used sumultaneously. If
both connectors are installed in a PC or Hub at the same time,
only the connector that syncs up first will be used.
POWER Barrel connector Connects the 12 VDC power connector to an AC wall jack.
