Ethernet (LAN)
With the built-in Ethernet LAN, you can make LAN connections
with 10/100/1000 Mbps connection speed. To use the network
feature, connect an Ethernet cable from the network jack on
the left side of the computer to a network jack or hub on your
network.
Ethernet Port (RJ45)
Fax/data modem
You can use the fax/modem to connect to the Internet to send
and receive data using the 56 Kbps V.92 protocol. When used
with fax software, it can be used as a fax at 14.4 Kbps. In some
countries, local regulations may not permit the use of the fax/
modem designed for this system. In this case, you may use a
PC Card modem. To use the fax/data modem port, connect
a phone cable from the modem port on the left side of the
computer to a telephone jack.
CAUTION
Plug your modem into an analog telephone jack
only. Most homes use analog lines. Do not use digital lines,
such as the PBX and ISDN systems found in many offices.
Digital lines may damage your modem.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use a No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
Audio Devices
Audio devices are easy to connect with the audio ports
accessible from the left side of the computer. You can plug an
external microphone (or an audio line-in device) into the line-in
jack. Amplified speakers or headphones connect to the line-
out jack.
