Connecting to a wired network There are 2 kinds of wired connections: local area network (LAN) and modem connection. A LAN connection uses a network cable and is much faster than a modem connection, which uses a telephone cable. Both cables are sold separately. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack. Connecting to a local area network (LAN) Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office. Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 (network) cable. To connect the network cable, follow these steps: 1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer. 2. Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router. NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer. Using a modem A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable. In some countries or regions, a specific modem cable adapter is also required. Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with the modem. Connecting a modem cable To connect the modem cable, follow these steps: 1. Plug the modem cable into the modem jack (1) on the computer. Connecting to a wired network 19

Connecting to a wired network
There are 2 kinds of wired connections: local area network (LAN) and modem connection. A LAN
connection uses a network cable and is much faster than a modem connection, which uses a
telephone cable. Both cables are sold separately.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a
modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.
Connecting to a local area network (LAN)
Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead
of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 (network) cable.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1.
Plug the network cable into the network jack
(1)
on the computer.
2.
Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack
(2)
or router.
NOTE:
If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry
(3)
, which prevents
interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the
computer.
Using a modem
A modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable. In some
countries or regions, a specific modem cable adapter is also required. Jacks for digital PBX systems
may resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with the modem.
