Setting Up the Network

Network Connection

Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.

If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.

If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, an Ethernet hub and two twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required.

If you are connecting to one or more computers using a cable or DSL router, a cable or DSL router and two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)

If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the system to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

TCP/IP and EtherTalk are the most common protocols used with Ethernet. To print using a TCP/IP protocol, each computer and system requires a unique IP address.
