Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and electronic mail; or connect to the Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your eMac automatically detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover cable to connect to other Ethernet devices.

•Use 2-pair category 3 (Cat 3) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet network.

•Use 2-pair category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T or a 100Base-T Ethernet network.

For More Information on Using Ethernet

Additional information, including how to set up an Ethernet network and transfer files using Ethernet, is available in Mac OS Help (see page 22). Choose Help > Mac Help and search for “Ethernet” or “network.”

For information on networking products you can use with your eMac, check the Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide.

External Video Support (VGA, Composite, and S-Video)

Your computer has a video out port you can use to connect an external display (monitor) or VGA projector, using the Apple VGA Display Adapter (available at www.apple.com/store).

You can also display or record computer images by connecting a TV, video projector, or videocassette recorder (VCR), using the Apple Video Adapter (available at www.apple.com/store).
