[. . . ] If connecting two computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional. ) Example of the Notebook PC connected to a Network Hub or Switch for use with the built-in Ethernetcontroller. LAN connector is the larger of the two Network Hub or Switch Network cable with RJ-45 connectors WARNING!The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the RJ-11 to digital phone systems found in many commercial buildings or else damage will occur! 45 Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models) 4 Using the Notebook PC The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing the IEEE 802. 11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2. 4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802. 11 standards allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards. The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances up to 40 meters between the client and the access point. To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) features. These are examples of the Notebook PC connected to a Wireless Network Ad-hoc mode The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC to connect to another wireless device. No access point (AP) is required in this wireless environment. (All devices must install optional 80211 wireless LAN adapters) Notebook PC Desktop PC PDA Infrastructure mode Notebook PC Desktop PC The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook PC and other wireless devices to join a wireless network created by an Access Point (AP) (sold separately) that provides a central link for wireless clients to communicate with each other or with a wired network. (All devices must install optional 80211 wireless LAN adapters) Access Point PDA 4 Intel PROSet (3945) Wireless LAN (on selected models) Connecting to a network Switch ON the Wireless Switch if necessary for your model (see switches in Section 3). Press [FN F2] (or double click the Wireless Console icon on the taskbar). Click on the 1st setting to activate both Wireless & Bluetooth, or you may select the 2nd option for Wireless activation only. You may also make use of Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboard or mouse. Pairing with Bluetooth-enabled devices You first need to pair your Notebook PC with a Bluetooth-enabled device before you can connect to it. Make sure the Bluetooth-enabled device is turned ON and ready to accept a pair. Launch BluetoothSettingsfrom Windows Start|Programs|Bluetoothor select AddNewConnectionfrom the Bluetooth taskbar icon if available. Bluetooth Settings from Windows Start | Programs | Bluetooth Add New Connection from the Bluetooth taskbar icon 50 Click New Connection from Bluetooth Settings Follow the wizard to add Bluetooth devices After complete, you should see your device in the window Power Management Modes Using the Notebook PC 4 The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as "Stand by" (or Suspend-to-RAM) and "Hibernation" mode or Suspend-to-Disk (STD). The Standby mode is a simple function provided by the operating system. When the Notebook PC is in either one of the power saving modes, the status will be shown by the following: "Stand by": Power LED Blinks and "Hibernation": Power LED OFF. Full Power Mode & Maximum Performance The Notebook PC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is disabled by configuring Windows power management and SpeedStep. When the Notebook PC is operating in Full Power Mode, the Power LED remains ON. If you are conscious of both system performance and power consumption, select "Maximum Performance" instead of disabling all power management features. ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. NOTE: APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 9. [. . . ] Paristo voi räjähtää, jos se on virheellisesti asennettu.
