Connecting to a wired network (via optional
docking device)
A local area network (LAN) is a wired connection. A LAN connection uses a RJ-45 network cable (sold
separately) and an optional docking device.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a
modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.
Connecting to a local area network (LAN)
Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of
working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable and optional docking device.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the docking device of the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.
NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference
from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
