Technical information

Connecting to a twisted-pair Ethernet network
To follow these instructions, you need a twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector. The RJ-45
connector plugs into a wall plate that is connected to the 10Base-T network.
1 Shut down your computer.
2 Plug one end of a twisted-pair cable into the RJ-45 (10Base-T) Ethernet port on your computer.
Just as when you plug in a standard telephone cable, you hear a click when you plug in the
twisted-pair cable.
3 Plug the other end of the twisted-pair cable into an RJ-45 outlet that is connected to a twisted-pair
Ethernet network.
