Connect via an Ethernet Hub
If already operating one or more media servers on a home or local area network (LAN), connect the flat panel TV
to the Ethernet (LAN) hub using a standard (“straight-through”) Ethernet (LAN) cable. See the diagram below.
Note: Although the Home Media Gallery supports 10BASE-T, it is better to use 100BASE-TX for improved display
quality and speed.
Connect directly to a Media Server
To run a PC as a media server, connect the flat panel TV directly to the PC using a twisted (“cross-over”) Ethernet
(LAN) cable. See the diagram below.
