Introduction Communications Modem LAN Wireless LAN Provides capability for data and fax communication. It supports V.90 (V.92). The speed of data transfer and fax communication depends on the analog telephone line conditions. The computer has a modem jack for connection to a telephone line. Both V.90 and V.92 are supported only in the USA, Canada, France and Germany. V.90 is available in other regions. Some models are equipped with the integrated modem. 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 pre-installed as a standard device in some markets. Some computers in this series are equipped with a Wireless LAN module 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. The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified under the appropriate - the actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed. Bluetooth Wireless Communication Switch 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. (Provided with some models) This switch turns the Wireless LAN and Bluetooth function on and off. 1-8 User's Manual
