Part Description
Cable Type Description
Ethernet If your computer has an Ethernet card, use the Ethernet
cable to connect your computer to the SOMAport.
Ethernet cables look similar to telephone cables. However,
you can tell the two apart because the connector on an
Ethernet cable is approximately twice as large as the
connector on a telephone cable.
USB If your computer does not have an Ethernet card, but has a
USB port, use the USB cable to connect your computer to
the SOMAport.
