Connecting to a wired network Select products may allow wired connections: local area network (LAN) and modem connection. A LAN connection uses a network cable and is much faster than a modem, 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) (select products only) 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. NOTE: A feature called HP LAN-Wireless Protection may be enabled on your computer. It closes your wireless (Wi-Fi) or WWAN connection when you connect directly to a LAN. For more information about HP LANWireless Protection, see Using HP LAN-Wireless Protection (select products only) on page 25. If there is no RJ-45 port on the computer, connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable or an optional docking device or expansion product. To connect the network cable, follow these steps: 1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer or on an optional docking device or expansion product. 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. 24 Chapter 3 Network connections

Connecting to a wired network
Select products may allow wired connections: local area network (LAN) and modem connection. A LAN
connection uses a network cable and is much faster than a modem, which uses a telephone cable. Both cables
are sold separately.

fire,
or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem
cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.

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.

A feature called HP LAN-Wireless Protection may be enabled on your computer. It closes your
wireless (Wi-Fi) or WWAN connection when you connect directly to a LAN. For more information about HP LAN-
Wireless Protection, see

1.
Plug the network cable into the network jack
(1)
on the computer or on an optional docking device or
