UltraMobilePC

Network Hub or

Switch

Network cable with RJ-45

connectors

Example of the UltraMobilePC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the

built-in Ethernet controller.

Network Connection

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

UltraMobilePC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T 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 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000

BASE-T 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 UltraMobilePC but requires connection to a net-

work 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 (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models

support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional.)

1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.
