correct ports for Ethernet passthrough?

[BillP]

Having trouble getting the Ethernet port pass through protector to work properly.   I have a router with a LAN port direct connection to wall outlets.... there are three ports on the UPS:   data, to router/modem, and to wall...  

Which is the proper way to connect the Ethernet cables?  I'm not getting a proper signal.  

And does anything need to be turned on like battery backup to make sure it is working? 

 Just interested in surge protection.

Some UPS units can support 10/100bt (Pins 1,2,3 & 6) and other can support 10/100/1000bt (Pins 1-8).

You should observe a Network IN and Network OUT connection. On some uis it will appear as an Arrow< or >. 

Can you provide the exact model number of your UPS? This will help us determine which device you have.

Thanks... It is an ES 750 

However, the problem may be a break in my ethernet cable.   Still, I'd like to know how it should work.

The "From Wall" jack would be in from your source and the "DSL, Modem, phone" would be out to your equipment, i.e. computer.

Please see the diagram and instruction in the following document.

That is very counter intuitive...  USING dsl/modem port to go to computer?  Usually it is the other way around. 

However, my version is not the G, and it has 3 ports: 

-> to wall outlet

->dsl/modem/networ/fax

-> data port. 

No USB port

Ok, so it seems you have the older BE750BB.

The same would apply here.

If using a DSL modem you would want to protect this device prior to connecting your computer. Any path for surge to travel which is not protected would be considered a "Back-Door". To fully protect your equipment, the line would come from the wall to the "Wall" inlet, out of the DSL/Modem/Network outlet and then to your device. The same applies if your using the COAX protection, for Cable Modem.

Essentially in both the scenarios the incoming line would be split and protected prior to ever going to your modem. The output to your PC, would then be coming directly from the protected Modem.

thank you

BTW what

is the data port for? 

[BillP]

The Data Port is available if you decided to monitor the UPS via PowerChute Personal Edition. This will allow Graceful Unattended Shutdown of the computer's operating system if the computer were left on and unattended. It is not required for normal battery operation.
