INTRODUCING THE ROUTER
Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com®. In the modern
business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial.
Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of
communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the
networking advantage.
Wireless 11n
Cable/DSL Firewall
Router
The 3Com Wireless 11n Cable/DSL Firewall Router is designed to provide
a cost-effective means of sharing a single broadband Internet connection
amongst several wired and wireless computers. The Router also provides
protection in the form of an electronic “firewall” preventing anyone
outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your
computers. The Router can also prevent your users from accessing Web
sites which you find unsuitable.
Figure 1 shows an example network without a Router. In this network,
only one computer is connected to the Internet. This computer must
always be powered on for the other computers on the network to access
the Internet.
12

There are two slots on the underside of the Router that can be used for
wall mounting.
When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the power
outlet.
There are 2 slots on the underside of the Router that can be used for wall
mounting. The distance between the 2 slots is 100 mm.
You will need 2 suitable screws, the diameter would be 5.0 to 7.0 mm, to
wall mount the Router.
When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the power
outlet.
To wall mount the unit:
1 Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and make two
screw holes which are 100 mm apart.
2 Fix the screws into wall, leaving their heads 5 mm clear of the wall
surface.
3 Remove any connections to the unit and locate it over the screw heads.
When in line, gently push the unit on to the wall and move it downwards
to secure.

Domain Name Service (or Server) is an Internet service that translates
domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic,
they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP
addresses. Every time you use a domain name, a DNS service must
translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the
domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.
Check with your ISP for information on this screen.
