OVERVIEW
A hub, switch, or router is required in order to share the Internet
connection with multiple computers.The SOMAport functions as a
DHCP server (it automatically assigns IP addresses to devices attached
to it) and will work with most consumer home network devices.
The connection procedure differs slightly depending on the type of your
home network device:
When using a hub or switch, see “Using an Ethernet Hub” on
page 29.
When using an Internet router see “Using an Internet Router” on
page 30.
