Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 85)

Connecting to a twisted-pair Ethernet network
Follow this procedure to connect your Macintosh to an Ethernet network that
uses twisted-pair cable. (You can’t connect to an Ethernet network unless you
installed an Ethernet card. If your computer didn’t come with an Ethernet
card already installed, see the information at the beginning of this section,
“Connecting to an Ethernet Network.”) You need a twisted-pair patch cord
with an RJ-45 telephone-style connector, which you plug into a wall plate
connected to the existing 10Base-T Ethernet network.
IMPORTANT Be careful not to plug a regular telephone cable into your RJ-45
connector. Although it works very differently, an RJ-45 connector looks very
similar to a standard telephone cable. Also, the connectors at the ends of the
cables will fit into both telephone and twisted-pair Ethernet ports. Make sure
you are using an RJ-45 connector cable.
To connect your Macintosh to a twisted-pair Ethernet network, follow these
instructions:
1 Shut down your computer.
2 Plug one end of the twisted-pair patch cord into the 10Base-T Ethernet port on
the Ethernet card in your Macintosh.
