CONNECTING TO A LOCAL AREA
NETWORK (AVAILABLE ON SELECT
MODELS
)
An internal modem/NIC (network interface card) combination
card and preinstalled modem and LAN (local area network)
drivers allow you to connect the computer to a LAN.
Connecting the Network Cable
IMPORTANT : The network and modem cables may contain noise
suppression circuitry near one end of the cable. This circuitry
prevents interference with TV and radio reception. Orient the
cable so that the noise suppression circuitry is closest to the
computer.
1. Plug one end of the LAN cable (may not be included with
the computer) into the RJ-45 jack on the computer, and
connect the other end of the cable to a network jack.
2. Connect one end of the modem cable (included with the
computer) into the RJ-11 jack on the computer and the
other end of the cable into a standard telephone wall jack.
3. Restart the computer, then connect to the network.
