Using Your Computer

45

To connect your Macintosh to a centralized 10/100/1000 twisted-pair Ethernet network,
follow these steps:

1

Plug one end of an RJ-45 twisted-pair cable into the Ethernet port on your Macintosh.

2

Plug the other end of the cord into an RJ-45 wall outlet or external hub that is connected to a
twisted-pair Ethernet network.

After you start up the computer, you need to configure the software for your network
connection. Your network administrator can provide the necessary information. You can also
get help configuring your network software using Mac Help (in the Help menu).

For More Information on Using Ethernet

Additional information, including setting up an Ethernet network or transferring files using
Ethernet, is available in Mac Help. Choose Mac Help from the Help menu and search for
“Ethernet” or “network.”
