139 Enhancing Productivity Exchanging data with another computer Connecting the modem to a telephone line Before you can use the modem, you must connect it to a standard voice-grade telephone line. For more information, see "Connecting to a phone line" on page 160. TECHNICAL NOTE: If you are using the telephone line at home, disable Call Waiting before you connect through the modem. Call Waiting interrupts data transmission. 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. Accessing a network To access a network: ❖ At the office, connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 jack on your computer. For specific information about connecting to the network, consult your network administrator. ❖ While you are at home or traveling, you need a dial-up connection. Ask your network administrator for the telephone number of the network. ❖ Wirelessly, you need an optional wireless networking PC Card or an optional Bluetooth™ or Wi-Fi™ module. For more information about wireless networking, refer to your wireless network device documentation or contact your authorized Toshiba service provider. Setting up the connection To set up an office connection, consult your network administrator for network settings and additional considerations.
