4 Using the Notebook PC

Network Connection

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

book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. Your network cable must be category 5 (not category 3)

with twisted-pair wiring. For 10Base-T, you can use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. Duplex

transfers is supported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a switch 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 twisted-pair is required.

Network Connection Example

This is an example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in

Ethernet controller.
