Ethernet

Your computer is equipped with a 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
network adapter. Connect the active LAN cable to the RJ-45 LAN
port located on the right side of the computer. This allows you to
access and transmit data in the local area network.

Connecting to the Network

Use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable only.
1. Insert one end of the UTP cable into the network connector
until the connector snaps securely into the receptacle.
2. Either connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack
wall outlet or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub in
the network.

Cabling Restriction for Networks

The following restrictions should be observed for
10/100BASE-TX networks:

 

The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328

feet[ft]).


Note:

Consult Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the

software installation, configuration, operation of the network.
