Setting Up a Wired (Ethernet) Connection
The
Ethernet
connection, which may be called network interface adapter, Network Interface
Card, or NIC, provides a high-speed or broadband connection to an Ethernet network. After
you connect this interface to a network, such as a LAN, you can connect to the Internet
through the network.
1
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector (
A
) on the back of the computer,
and to the network router or LAN device.
A
Ethernet connector (RJ-45 port)
B
Ethernet indicator lights
2
With the computer turned on, check the indicator lights (
B
) next to the Ethernet connector
for the status:
±
ACTIVITY —
Lit yellow during network data transfer activity
±
LINK —
Lit green when there is a valid network connection
NOTE:
Your Ethernet connector may have only one indicator light.
NOTE:
For optimum performance, all of your network connections—computer, wiring, and
router—must support the maximum speed of your network.
