Connecting the Communication Devices

Using the LAN

The RJ-45 connector of the computer allows you to connect the LAN

(local area network) devices, such as a hub, switch and gateway, to

build a network connection. This built-in 10/100 Base-T LAN

module supports data transfer rate up to 100Mbps.

The following diagram describes the basic connection in a network

environment. For more instructions or detailed steps on

connecting to the LAN, please ask your MIS staff or network

manager for help.
