Introduction

Communications

Modem

Provides capability for data and fax

 

communication. It supports V.90 (V.92). The speed

 

of data transfer and fax communication depends

 

on the analog telephone line conditions. The

 

computer has a modem jack for connection to a

 

telephone line. Both V.90 and V.92 are supported

 

only in the USA, Canada, France and Germany.

 

V.90 is available in other regions.

 

Some models are equipped with the integrated

 

modem.

 

 

LAN

The computer has built-in support for Ethernet

 

LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T),

 

Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,

 

100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000

 

megabits per second, 1000BASE-T).

 

It is pre-installed as a standard device in some

 

markets.

 

 

Wireless LAN

Some computers in this series are equipped with

 

a Wireless LAN module that is compatible with

 

other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence

 

Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division

 

Multiplexing radio technology that complies with

 

the IEEE 802.11 standard.

 

 

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified

under the appropriate - the actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Bluetooth

Some computers in this series are equipped

 

with Bluetooth functions. Bluetooth wireless

 

technology eliminates the need for cables

 

between electronic devices such as computers

 

and printers. Bluetooth provides fast, reliable,

 

and secure wireless communication in a small

 

space. (Provided with some models)
