Sending and Receiving E-mail

Your NEC Versa L320 system is equipped with an E-mail shortcut button, located just above the keyboard. The first time that you press the E-mail shortcut button, the Internet Connection Wizard launches, allowing you to configure your system for e-mail access. Once your Internet connection is configured, pressing the E-mail shortcut button launches your associated dial-up network connection, allowing you to enter your logon name and password. In addition, Outlook Express launches, providing quick access to your e-mail functions.

Modifying the Internet and E-mail Shortcut Buttons

The Internet and E-mail shortcut buttons are configured (default setting) to launch your Internet browser and e-mail applications, respectively. You can modify the default application settings with the One-Touch Start Button Settings utility which comes on the Application and Driver CD. See “One-Touch Start Button Settings Utility” in Chapter 4 for information about running this utility.

IR Port

The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa L320 communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology. To locate the IR port, see “Front Features” in Chapter 1.

The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa L320 and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.

IR transfer speed ranges from 2.4 Kbit/sec to 4.0 Mbit/sec. You can limit the IR transfer speed through the Infrared icon in the Windows control panel. Double click the icon and select the options to access the speed parameter.

Your NEC Versa transfers data at the speed compatible with the receiving device.
