Built-in network feature

The built-in network feature allows you to connect your computer to an Ethernet-based (10/100/1000 Mbps) network.

To use the network feature, connect an Ethernet cable from the network jack on the rear of the computer to a network jack or hub on your network.

Please reference page 52 "Port expansion devices" for more information about Acer EasyPort connection.

Fast infrared

The computer’s fast infrared (FIR) port allows you to do wireless data transfer with other IR-aware computers and peripherals such as PDAs (personal digital assistants), mobile phones, and infrared printers. The infrared port can transfer data at speeds of up to four megabits per second (Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.
