4 Using the Notebook PC

Network Hub or Switch

Network cable with

RJ-45 connectors

This is an example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network

Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernet controller.

NOTE: The built-in modem and network cannot be installed later as an upgrade. After

purchase, modem and/or network can be installed as a PC card (PCMCIA).

Network Connection

Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note-

book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network

cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the

interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-

T4 hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is sup-

ported on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled.

The software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.

Twisted-Pair Cable

The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a

Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ether-

net (TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which

are not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connect-

ing two computers together without a hub in between, a cross-

over LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). Gigabit mod-

els support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional.

1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.
