What you need for a wired network

Before you connect the HP All-in-One to a network, make sure you have all of the required materials.

❑A functional Ethernet network that includes a router, switch, or hub with an Ethernet port.

❑CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Network setup

Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each has a different connector. An Ethernet cable connector (also called an RJ-45 connector) is wider and thicker and always has 8 contacts on the end. A phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts.

❑A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection.

NOTE: The HP All-in-One supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, a network interface card (NIC), make sure it can operate at either speed.
