Connecting to a wired network

Connecting to a local area network (LAN) (select models only)

Connecting to a local area network (LAN) requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable (purchased
separately). If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference
from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable (2) toward the computer.
To connect the network cable:
1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a network wall jack (2) or a router (not illustrated).
WARNING!
a modem or telephone cable into the RJ-45 (network) jack.
