30 Chapter 3 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.
For More Information on Using Ethernet
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.

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
