connector

To attach your computer to a network or broadband
device, connect one end of a network cable to either a
network port or your network or broadband device.

Connect the other end of the network cable to the network
adapter connector on the back panel of your computer. A
click indicates that the network cable has been securely
attached.

NOTE:

Do not plug a telephone cable into the network

connector.

On computers with a network connector card, use the
connector on the card.

It is recommended that you use Category 5 wiring and
connectors for your network. If you must use Category 3
wiring, force the network speed to 10 Mbps to ensure
reliable operation.
