Installing the SOMAport
Connecting a computer via Ethernet
If your computer has an Ethernet card, use an Ethernet cable to connect your
computer to the SOMAport. If your computer does not have an Ethernet card
and it is running Windows 98SE or later, use the USB cable instead. See
“Connecting a computer via USB” on page 27 for more information.
NOTE:
If your operating system is Windows 95, Mac OS, or Linux 2.4, you
must use Ethernet. You cannot use USB.
