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