5.4 Using the LAN Port

This notebook comes with an internal 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module
that connects your computer to other computers/networks through a local area
network (LAN) and supports data transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to
100Mbps. The 10Base-T standard also called Twisted Pair Ethernet is
connected with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based on the older
Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often
referred to as Fast Ethernet.

The built-in LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector.
