# Configuring the Terminal Ethernet Connection
This section explains how to enable an Ethernet connection and connect to your network.
#### **To connect to your Ethernet (wired) network:**
1. Ensure your network cable is connected in the red Ethernet adapter on the multi-function cable and make sure the other end of the network cable is connected to a network jack or hub.
2. On the terminal’s main screen, touch the **Settings** icon. 
3. On the *Settings* screen, touch the **Please Input Password** field and use the keypad to type the password: or **pax9876@@**.
4. Touch the checkmark icon on the keypad when you are done and touch **OK**. 
5. On the *Settings* page, touch **Network & Internet**.
6. On the *Network & internet* page, touch Ethernet.
7. If **Ethernet** is **Off**, touch the toggle to turn it on.
8. After you toggle **Ethernet** to **On** (or if **Ethernet** is already on), the connected network settings appear.
9. If necessary, you can change the network connection parameters manually by scrolling to the bottom and touching **Ethernet Configuration** to select and configure the **Connection Type**.

IMPORTANT! Changing the network connection parameters incorrectly will prevent the terminal from communicating with the payment processing server.

10. Touch the **Back** icon to return to the *Network & Internet* page.
