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), Fast

 

 

Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,

 

 

100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000

 

 

megabits per second, 1000BASE-T).

 

 

It is preinstalled as a standard device in some

 

 

markets.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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).

 

 

■ Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps

 

 

(IEEE802.11a, 802.11g)

 

 

■ Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps

 

 

(IEEE802.11b)

 

 

■ 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 128 bit encryption

 

 

algorithm.

 

 

■ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

 

 

■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data

 

 

encryption.
