134 Exploring Your Computer's Features Setting up for communications Setting up for communications To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or communicate across the telephone lines with another computer, you need: ❖ A browser or communications program ❖ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service if you plan to use the Internet ❖ A way to connect to the ISP (for example modem/ Wi-Fi®/LAN, etc.) Using Wireless LAN connectivity NOTE Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to purchase additional software, external hardware or services. Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited. Your system comes with a wireless LAN module. This is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of electronic devices without the need for cables. For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer to your wireless networking device documentation or your network administrator. To use your wireless communication, slide the Wireless antenna ON/OFF switch to the ON position. NOTE When the Wireless antenna ON/OFF switch is ON, the wireless indicator light will be lit. For help with common Wi-Fi® networking problems, see "Wireless networking problems" on page 202. Connecting your computer to a network You can connect your computer to a network to increase its capabilities and functionality using one of its communication ports.
