Cascading Your Router
The ZoneAlarm router protects all computers and network devices that are connected to its
LAN ports. If desired, you can increase the router's port capacity by cascading hubs or
switches.
To cascade the ZoneAlarm router to a hub or switch
1. Connect a standard Ethernet cable to one of the router's LAN ports.
The ZoneAlarm router automatically detects cable types, so you can use either a
straight-through or crossed Ethernet cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet hub or switch.
3. Connect additional computers and network devices to the hub or switch as
desired.
Preparing the Router for a Wireless Connection
To prepare the ZoneAlarm router for a wireless connection
1. Connect the antennas that came with your ZoneAlarm router to the ANT1 and
ANT2 antenna connectors in the router's rear panel.
2. Bend the antennas at the hinges, so that they point upwards.
