Introduction

Communications

 

Modem

An internal modem provides capability for data

 

 

and fax communication. It supports V.90 (V.92).

 

 

Refer to V.90 section in Appendix E. The speed

 

 

of data transfer and fax depends on analog

 

 

telephone line conditions. It has a modem jack

 

 

for connecting to a telephone line. It is

 

 

preinstalled as a standard device in some

 

 

markets. Both of V.90 and V.92 are supported

 

 

only in USA, Canada and Australia. Only V.90 is

 

 

available in other regions.

 

 

 

 

LAN

The computer has built-in support for Ethernet

 

 

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

 

 

Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,

 

 

100BASE-Tx).Refer to the Parts Numbers

 

 

section in Appendix I.

 

 

 

 

Wireless LAN

Some computers in this series are equipped with

 

 

a Wireless LAN mini-PCI card 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

 

 

(Revision A, B or G), and Turbo Mode.

 

 

Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism

 

 

in the transmit range of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12,

 

 

9 and 6 Mbit/s. (Revision A/B, B/G, A/B/G

 

 

combo type)

 

 

Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism

 

 

in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/

 

 

s. (Revision B)

 

 

Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism

 

 

in the transmit range of 108, 96, 72, 48, 36,

 

 

24, 18 and 12 Mbit/s. (Turbo Mode, Revision

 

 

A/B/G combo type)

 

 

Frequency Channel Selection (5 GHz:

 

 

Revision A / 2.4 GHz: Revision B/G)

 

 

Roaming over multiple channels

 

 

Card Power Management

 

 

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data

 

 

encryption, based on 152 bit encryption

 

 

algorithm. (Atheros module type)

 

 

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data

 

 

encryption, based on 128 bit encryption

 

 

algorithm. (Intel module type)

 

 

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data

 

 

encryption, based on 256 bit encryption

 

 

algorithm. (Atheros module type)
