Using the Communication Features

Using the LAN

NOTE for Windows 2000: To take advantage of the LAN (Local Area Network) feature, the device driver supplied with your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).

The internal 10/100Base-T Ethernet module allows you to connect your computer to a network. It supports data transfer rate up to 100 Mbps.

To connect the network cable to the LAN module, connect one end of the LAN cable to the RJ-45 connector on the computer and the other end to the network hub.

Using the Wireless LAN (WLAN)

An internal Mini PCI wireless LAN (Intel Centrino platform) module have been pre-installed by your computer manufacturer at the factory. This allows you to access corporate networks or the Internet in a wireless environment.
