Connecting an Ethernet cable to the expansion card
Follow these steps to connect an Ethernet cable to the card in your PowerBook:
1 Open the cover on the computer’s back panel and verify that your computer has a card
with a modular connector.
You can connect a modular (twisted-pair or 10Base-T) Ethernet cable to an
Ethernet-only card or to the combination Ethernet/modem card. (A shielded
Ethernet cable is supplied with your computer.)
2 Locate a modular Ethernet cable and connect one end of the cable to the network.
Consult a network administrator or other expert if you need help making the
network connection.
3 Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to the modular connector on the card.
4 Start up the PowerBook, if it is not already on.
5 To use your Ethernet connection, open the AppleTalk control panel and choose Ethernet
from the “Connect via” pop-up menu.
If you want to use a TCP/IP-based application, you may want to make sure
that the TCP/IP control panel is configured appropriately.
For more detailed instructions on using the network control panels, see the
Networks topic area of Mac OS Help, available in the Help menu.
