Hardware Description
The BLW-04EM can be connected to the Internet using its RJ-45 WAN port . It
can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the
Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can
provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream. G.lite (or
splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps
upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps
upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels.
PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should
note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary
dramatically from these upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem type
connected to your Router, data passing between devices connected to your
local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The BLW-04EM includes an LED display on the front panel for system power
and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It
also provides 4 RJ-45 LAN ports on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN
port. Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and received
simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.
