Communications

A jack enables easy connection to a local-area network without the need of

a PC card or other adaptor.

LAN

The Port Replicator supports Ethernet LAN, Fast Ethernet LAN and Gigabit

Ethernet LAN. If the computer does not support Gigabit Ethernet LAN

(1000BASE-T), the Port Replicator supports only Ethernet LAN (10BASE-T)

and Fast Ethernet LAN (100BASE-Tx).

LAN cable types

When you use your computer with the Port Replicator connected to it, do

not attach any cables from external devices to your computer. If these

cables are connected to the ports of your computer, the ports of the Port

Replicator may not work as expected.

Do not install or remove an optional memory module while Wake-up on

LAN is enabled.

The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is

off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.

The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.

Logging onto a LAN using the computer’s default settings could cause a

malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator

regarding set-up procedures.
