Setting Up 27
To connect your Macintosh to a centralized 10/100 twisted-pair network, follow these steps:
1 Plug one end of an RJ-45 twisted-pair cable into the Ethernet port on your Macintosh.
2 Plug the other end of the cord into an RJ-45 wall outlet or external hub that is connected to a
twisted-pair Ethernet network.
Note: The cable length from your computer’s Ethernet port to a network hub should not
exceed 100 meters. Check with your network administrator if you have a question about the
cable length from your computer to the network hub.
After you start up the computer, you need to configure the software for your network
connection. Your network administrator can provide the necessary information. You can also
get help configuring your network software using the electronic documentation that came
with your computer.
