Westinghouse NB-14w2 Ethernet, Connecting to the Network, Cabling Restriction for Networks

■Chapter 1 Getting To Know The Basics

Ethernet

Your computer is equipped with a 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet network adapter. Connect the active LAN cable to the RJ-45 LAN port located on the left side of the computer. This allows you to access and transmit data in the local area network.

Connecting to the Network

Use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable only.

1.Insert one end of the UTP cable into the network connector until the connector snaps securely into the receptacle.

2.Either connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 jack wall outlet or to an RJ-45 port on a UTP concentrator or hub in the network.

Cabling Restriction for Networks

The following restrictions should be observed for 10/100BASE-TX networks:

„The maximum cable run length is 100 meters(m) (328 feet[ft]).

Note: Consult Windows manual and / or Novell Netware user’s guide for the

software installation, configuration, and operation of the network.
