5.4 Using the LAN Port
This notebook comes with an internal 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module
that connects your computer to other computers/networks through a local
area network (LAN) and supports data transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up
to 100Mbps. The 10Base-T standard also called Twisted Pair Ethernet is
connected with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based on the older
Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often
referred to as Fast Ethernet.
The built-in LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector.
To connect the twisted-pair cable to your LAN port:
1. Locate the twisted-pair cable in the accessories box in notebook shipping
carton. Each end of the cable has a RJ-45 connector.
2. Connect one end of the cable into the network wall outlet or HUB.
3. Connect the other end of the cable into the computer RJ-45 LAN port.
