Resumen del manual
The Windows Help and Support Centre offer extensive information about networking your Notebook. You can access this information by clicking on Start, then Help and Support. The Network Wireless LAN (optional) Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless network link with an access point or directly with another wireless-enabled PC. Using the key combination Fn+F1 you can enable or disable the wireless LAN function. A corresponding LED will light. Warning! Make sure the Wireless LAN option is switched OFF in any environment where it might interfere with critical and sensitive devices, e.g., on aircraft, in hospitals and other medical centres, etc. Conditions An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your notebook and controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband connection such as DSL). Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports, universities or Internet cafes. They offer access to networks or to the Internet. Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home, you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your retailer or Internet Service Provider to find the best solution for your needs. A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an access point. This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network connection works in accordance with the IEEE 802.11n Standard (compatible with the 802.11b/g Standard). The 802.11a Standard is also supported. If encrypted transmission is used, this must operate according to the same principle on all devices. Encryption is a method of protecting the network from unauthorized access. The transmission speed (max. 300 Mbp/s*) can vary according to the distance and loading of the partner. Appendix AidComponentsHandling Safety * 300 Mbit/s is a gross value. A maximum of 75 Mbit/s will be achieved on the application level. A WLAN router in accordance with the 801.11 standard will be necessary, in order to be able to exploit the complete performance. 51 The Network Troubleshooting within the Network Why does an error message appear when I click on the network environment? The computer name must be unique on the network and may not be the same as the task group. It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What might be the problem? Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different speed (e. g. 10 instead 100 Mbit/s) and your network computer is unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to the compatible speed. If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable, otherwise use a patch cable. In addition, check the protocols and the configuration. The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the problem? Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of interference. For further hints on troubleshooting refer to the Windows help under “Network errors”. The Network Bluetooth (optional) Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between devices, such as your printer, keyboard, and mouse. Bluetooth wireless technology operates over a short distance. Bluetooth devices use radio transmission, which enables your computer, mobile phone, printer, keyboard, mouse, and other devices to communicate with each other without cables. There are several uses for Bluetooth wireless technology, including, but not limited to: . Creating a wireless connection to the Internet with a mobile phone. . Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device. . Printing to a Bluetooth wireless printer. . Using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. . Joining a personal area network (PAN). . Synchronizing a personal digital assistant (PDA) to a computer or another device using Bluetooth wireless technology. The data transfer speed for Bluetooth wireless technology can be up to 700 kilobits (Kbp/s) per second. The data transfer speed can vary depending on the device or environmental factors. A Bluetooth device can transmit through walls, pockets, and briefcases. Since Bluetooth is using the same frequency range as WLAN, simultaneous use might cause interference. If this should happen you can disable one service temporary. Using the key combination Fn+F2 you can enable or disable Bluetooth function. Warning! Make sure the Bluetooth option is switched OFF in any environment where it might interfere with critical and sensitive devices, e.g., on aircraft, in hospitals and other medical centres, etc. Appendix AidComponentsHandling Safety 53 The Network The Multime...
