Via a network hub, switch, or router, using a straight-through cable (see

speak to your IT department for specific installation instructions.

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click Change Adapter Settings.
3. Highlight the network adapter you want to use to connect to the device and
click Change settings of this connection.
