Apple EMac Manuale

    Using Your Computer

 

Connecting to a network gives you access to other computers. You may be able to 
store and retrieve information; use network printers, modems, and electronic mail; or 
connect to the Internet. You can also use Ethernet to share files between two 
computers or set up a small network. The Ethernet port on your eMac automatically 
detects other Ethernet devices. You don’t need an Ethernet crossover cable to connect 
to other Ethernet devices.

Use 2-pair category 3 (Cat 3) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T Ethernet 
network.

Use 2-pair category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cables to connect to a 10Base-T or a 100Base-T 
Ethernet network.

Additional information, including how to set up an Ethernet network and transfer files 
using Ethernet, is available in Mac OS Help (see page 22). Choose Help > Mac Help and 
search for “Ethernet” or “network.” 

For information on networking products you can use with your eMac, check the 
Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide.

External Video Support (VGA, Composite, and S-Video)

Your computer has a video out port you can use to connect an external display 
(monitor) or VGA projector, using the Apple VGA Display Adapter (available at 
www.apple.com/store). 

You can also display or record computer images by connecting a TV, video projector, or 
videocassette recorder (VCR), using the Apple Video Adapter (available at 
www.apple.com/store).
