4 Using the Notebook PC

Fast-Ethernet Connection

Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Notebook

PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX speeds, your network cable must be

category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the interface at

100Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX hub (not a BASE-T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use

category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported on this Notebook PC but

requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled. The software default is to use

the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.

Twisted-Pair Cable

The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a

Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet

(TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which

are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting

two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover

LAN cable is required.

Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in

Ethernet controller:

NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After

purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as a PC card (PCMCIA).
