If you choose to direct purchase through Sheridan you will need to purchase a network (Ethernet) cable when you purchase your laptop.

Most computer come with an integrated Ethernet card. If your computer does not have one previously installed, you can buy an Ethernet card and RJ45 network cable from the University Bookstore or from most other computer retail stores.

Since Squeezebox's ethernet interface is 10/100 ethernet, you can use CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 ethernet cable. If you are connecting directly to a computer you will need a crossover cable, otherwise a regular straight cable will work just fine. (Note: Some Macintosh computers will work with either a regular or crossover cable.) The maximum length for 10base-T and 100base-T cables is 100 meters or about 328 feet, assuming that the appropriate type of wire is used and it is laid correctly.

No, neither ResNet nor Campus Life provide cables longer than 25 feet in length, nor do we supply couplers to join two cables together to create a longer cable run. There are two main reasons for this. First, this is a safety issue. Exposed cabling greater than 25 feet in length is considered a hazard and a safety risk and is not supplied for this reason.

No. Beginning as of August 2005, ResNet cables will provided as part of the room inventory, rather than being distributed individually each year. As a result of provisioning and tracking cables as part of room inventory, shorter cables will no longer be provided.

You may try your own Ethernet cable, but most of the buildings serviced by ResNet are networked using a Cornell-specific wiring standard. This wiring standard is incompatible with many Ethernet cables. If you are using your own Ethernet cable and have any problems, the first thing you must do is stop using your own cable and try the one provided in your room.

Yes, unless you have wireless capability. Make sure to register your wireless address with GGU well in advance of your exam. You can register your laptop's MAC address online via GGU4YOU under the "Profile" tab.

Ethernet, also called CAT-5, RJ-45, or 10-Base T, is the type of cable used to connect computers to the Georgetown network. Ethernet looks like a phone cable but with larger connectors at each end and a fatter cable. You cannot use telephone cable to connect to the Georgetown network.

You will need a standard usb cable (the one that is included in the box when you buy the phone). Because you are going to use a usb cable you have to install drivers for this cable. You can find this drivers at the downloads page If you do not have this cable you can buy it from us. For now go to contact site to ask us for the cable. You can also buy it in every electronic store and ebay. It's often the same cable as used to connect digital (video) camera's to a pc.

There are two RJ45 ports at the back of the Bluetooth Access Point, LAN and Uplink (port with a X sign). If you are connecting via a router, please use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port. If you are connecting directly from the ethernet jack on the wall, then you should use a standard RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the Uplink port (or a crossover RJ45 ethernet cable and plug into the LAN port).

A switch can send packets directly to the computer that's connected to LAN. A router is a combination of a switch and a Network Address Translator (NAT). The NAT function in the router allows sharing a single IP address provided by the ISP with PCs connected directly to the router/switch or switch connected to the router. Basically if you are not planning to share a broadband connection in your network, than an Ethernet switch is efficient enough.

Most computers now come with ethernet cards already installed! Make sure your purchase is not redundant. Ethernet cards can be purchased at any computer store. Make sure to get a 10 or 10/100base-T that uses an RJ-45 twisted pair connection, as well as the appropriate cable to connect the card to the wall jack.

No. 100VG will work with Category 3 and Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cable. All 8 wires (4 pair) must be used and wired with the standard twisted pair assignments. In some Category 3 cable installations, only 4 wires (2 pair) are available for LAN traffic, in which case that cable cannot be used with 100VG. If you presently have a 4-pair UTP cable network that complies with the Ethernet/IEEE 802.

You need an RJ45 cable with connectors on both ends. You may purchase a 14' cable from SATS in the West Building or at one of the local computer stores. Students who reside off campus can obtain internet connectivity via a modem through an outside Internet Service Provider (ISP) or through a service provided by the University called Merit or MichNet. The charge for MichNet service is $40 a semester or $100 for a year.

You always need two adapters for the initial installation. If you want to connect your network to the Internet, you need at least one adapter to be connected to an ADSL/Cable modem (only one participant of the network can use the Internet) or to an ADSL modem router (all participants of the network can use the Internet at the same time). The A001E WodaPlug Ethernet Adaptor has a standard power plug for connection to a power outlet. There are three main kind of power plugs:

Contact the Electronics Workshop (x2754), who will either have a spare cable available, or can organise one to be made up for you. If you want to purchase one for your own use, these cables are readily available at most electronics retail outlets. They're called "Cat 5" (Category 5), UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cables, with RJ-45 type connectors at each end (these connectors are similar to, but larger than, the modern phone connectors).

No, an ethernet cable does not come with the computers. These can be purchased at most major electronics stores as well as the NCSU Bookstore. Based on student input, we recommend getting an ethernet cable of about 25 feet in length. This allows for greater flexibility when arranging dorm rooms.

Yes, we do provide each student with a 14-ft ethernet cable and they are available at the Help Desk in Fellows Lobby. If the cable is too short, return it to the Help Desk. Multiple or longer cables are available for purchase from the bookstore or local stores like Walmart, Best Buy or Staples.

Extra long cables can be purchased at computer or office supply stores such as the NYU Computer Store.

You can purchase CAT-5 10-Base-T Ethernet cable from the Georgetown University Bookstore or any computer/office supply store. During New Student Orientation, vendors will have Ethernet cable for sale at UIS technology events.

A straight cable is most often used to connect an Ethernet interface to an Ethernet hub or switch. Shielded CAT-5 cable (STP) must be used, the connectors are RJ45.

A crossed Ethernet cable can be used to connect a GTH directly to a server's Ethernet port, without using a hub or switch. This is sometimes also called a crossover cable. Shielded CAT-5 cable must be used, the connectors are RJ45.

The Ethernet cable has eight wires, and you can see the color code through the transparent RJ-45 connector. Only wire 1,2,3 and 6 are used. In a straight through Ethernet cable wires 1,2,3 and 6 have the same color at both ends. However, in a crossover Ethernet cable, wires 1 and 2 terminate at position 3 and 6, and wire 3 and 6 terminate at positions 1 and 2, respectively.

Our ResNet program uses 100base-T. Our entire ResNet program uses standard RJ-45 type connectors for our connections. Crossover Ethernet cables will not work on our system. The length of your patch cable will depend on where you decide to place your computer in your room. For most areas a 25-foot patch cable will allow you to place your computer anywhere in your room. [ back to top ] ResNet uses DHCP and this information will be provided automatically to your computer when it connects to ResNet.

The Ethernet cable and a standard telephone cable do look alike but are very different. The Ethernet cable is know as a "category 5 cable" or "cat 5" for short. The ends of a cat 5 cable are also wider than a telephone cable because this type of cables have more pins in the ends. Because of these design difference a telephone cable and a Ethernet cable are not interchangeable.

The most common way is to use Ethernet switches in conjunction with a dedicated network and only one master. The latter two requirements will insure that there are no message collisions by making sure that only one device is initiating communications. Then the Ethernet switches will consistently route your Ethernet messages via the same path and with the same timing every time. Click here for more Real-time Ethernet Secrets.
