The recording tracks on DVD media are not as deep and are more condensed than on CDs or CD-RWs, therefore DVDs provide more storage space. DVD media also use both sides of the disk, as opposed to just one side for CDs and CD-RWs. DVD-ROM drives read traditional CDs, CD-RWs, and DVDs. ADSL modems ADSL modems, available on some models, enable simultaneous internet connectivity and telephone service. Contact your local telephone service provider and ask if your premises need any additional telephony equipment, such as a splitter or a filter. Also contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine if they provide service to customers with ADSL. ADSL modems work by using separately the individual four or six wires in the standard RJ-11 telephone jack. The inner wires, or pairs of wires if there are six, carry voice transmissions. The outer wires on either side carry data between your computer and the Internet. One channel is data download; the other is data upload. Wake on LAN The power supply of the computer supports the Wake on LAN feature. With the Wake on LAN feature, the computer can be turned on when a specific LAN frame is passed to the computer over the LAN. To find out if the Wake on LAN feature is set, refer to the menu item for Wake on LAN in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the User Guide for help with using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Wake on Ring All models can be configured to turn on the computer after a ring is detected from an external or internal modem. Use the menu for setting the Wake on Ring feature in the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. See the User Guide for help with using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Two options control this feature: • Serial Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an external modem connected to the serial port. • Modem Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an internal modem. 2 Technical Information
