When using the computer as a network computer, some additional settings may
have to be made depending on the usage conditions. We recommend asking your
system administrator or the person in charge of the network.
1
Power off your computer
Do not shut down using the standby or hibernation function.
2
Connect the cable
Connect the LAN port and the network system (server, HUB, etc.) using a LAN
cable.
CAUTION
Do not connect the modem telephone cable into the LAN port.
Do not use the standby or hibernation functions during communications (ex-
cept when the Wake up from LAN function is in use), as this may cause an
error in data transmission or reception. The timeout function may engage
even during data transmissions, causing the computer to automatically go
into standby or hiber nation mode. When not using the Wake up from LAN
function, we recommend disabling the timeout function using the following
procedure.
Windows 2000 : [Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Power Schemes]
Windows XP : [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power
Options] - [Power Schemes]
NOTE
If you are unable to connect to the network (when the indicator of your HUB unit
does not light):
1 Windows 2000

tenance] - [System] - [Hardware].
