Connecting to a Twisted-Pair Ethernet Network

You can connect directly to a 10/100 twisted-pair Ethernet network.

You can also connect your computer to an Ethernet network that uses thin coaxial cables. To do this, you need an RJ-45–to–Thin Coax adapter (available from other manufacturers).

See your Apple-authorized dealer for more information on Ethernet media adapters.

To connect your Macintosh to a centralized 10/100 twisted-pair Ethernet network, follow these steps:

1Plug one end of an RJ-45 twisted-pair cable into the Ethernet port on your Macintosh.

2Plug the other end of the cord into an RJ-45 wall outlet or external hub that is connected to a twisted-pair Ethernet network.

After you start up the computer, you need to conﬁgure the software for your network connection. Your network administrator can provide the necessary information. You can also get help conﬁguring your network software using Mac Help (in the Help menu).
