142 Enhancing Productivity Using the i.LINK® port Using the i.LINK® port The i.LINK® port on the rear of the computer provides an extremely fast data transfer rate (up to 400 mega bits per second [Mbps]). You can connect up to 63 external devices to the i.LINK® port. In addition to high speed, the i.LINK® port also supports isochronous data - the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate. This makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data in real-time, such as video devices. As with USB ports, the i.LINK® port supports both Plug-andPlay (automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability to connect and disconnect devices while the computer is on). The main difference between i.LINK® and USB technology is that i.LINK® supports faster data transfer rates. Connecting your modem to a telephone line Your computer comes with a built-in modem that can be connected to a standard voice-grade telephone line. The modem allows you to: ❖ Access the Internet. ❖ Communicate with your office's local area network (LAN), or a larger corporate wide area network (WAN). For specific information about connecting to a LAN or WAN, consult your network administrator. ❖ Send a fax directly from your computer.
