Connecting to a network

If your computer has an optional Ethernet port, you can connect your Macintosh to any standard high-speed Ethernet network. You can connect your Macintosh to an existing Ethernet network that uses thin coax cables, 10BASE-T twisted pair cables, thick coax cables, or other standard cables.

To connect your Macintosh to a network, you may need to purchase an appropriate Apple Ethernet media adapter or other compatible media adapter. (Consult the service and support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for more information on Apple Ethernet media adapters.)

To use Ethernet, you need to change the network connection in the Network control panel. (For instructions on how to select a network connection and other information about using your Macintosh on a network, see “Using Your Macintosh on a Network” in your Macintosh User’s Guide.)

SImportant: Your Macintosh supports EtherTalk Phase 2 (AppleTalk Phase 2 Protocols for Ethernet networks) and TCP/IP (via MacTCP software). Non-Apple products that you can use to communicate over Ethernet using protocols are also available. Your Macintosh does not support EtherTalk Phase 1 (AppleTalk Phase 1 protocols for Ethernet networks). S

sCaution: The use of an Ethernet card will make your Macintosh a Class A computing device. s
