Connecting to a local area network (LAN)

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.

Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable. To connect the network cable, follow these steps:

1.Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.

2.Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.

NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
