jack. If lightning strikes the telephone line, the modem or your computer may be damaged.
• When the modular cable is connected to the modular jack on your computer, do not pull the
modular cable or relocate your computer, as it may damage the modular jack.
• Use of a commercially available branch adapter to connect the modem along with another
device may affect data communications with the modem or operations of the other device.
• If you want to use a line switcher, use the one that completely isolates the line from an unused
device.
TIP:
• While the hard disk or CD-ROM of the PC card connection type is in operation, an
attempt to initiate communications may cause the following phenomena:
- Decrease in the communication speed
- Disconnection of the communication line

When connecting your computer to a 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) network, be sure to use a cable
and connector of the category 5 (CAT5) type. You cannot use a cable of the category 3 type.
When connecting your computer to a 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) network, you can use a cable either
of the category 3 or 5 type.

2. Wireless LAN
* For models with the wireless LAN capabilities only
The wireless LAN is a network with computers connected without LAN cables. Regardless of
the location of the modem or router, a computer can connect to the network from anywhere
within the wireless communications range.
Using a wireless LAN access point (optional), a wireless broadband environment can be
implemented with multiple computers.
Overview of the Wireless LAN
Your computer is provided with the following functions:
• Automatic selection among the transfer rates
Available transfer rates are 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps.
• Frequency channel selection (2.4 GHz band)
• Roaming among multiple channels
• Power management
• Data encryption based on the RC4 encryption algorithm defined in IEEE802.11.
Types of the wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is a wireless network compliant with IEEE802.11. It supports the transfer rate
of up to 11 Mbps.
• The Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) logo is certified by Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance,
WECA.
The Wi-Fi logo indicates the wireless device that can communicate with third-party wireless
LAN devices compliant with IEEE802.11b.
• Use of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, DSSS, provides full compatibility with third-party
wireless LAN systems compliant with IEEE802.11b.
31
!
Notes on use of the wireless LAN
• Place a wireless antenna for a wireless LAN in an obstacle-free location. To maximize the
wireless communication range, open the LCD and keep obstacles, including books and sheaves
of thick paper, away from your computer.
• The wireless LAN is a wireless product. For local wireless regulations, check with “User
Information”.
Types of the Wireless LAN Network
Peer-to-peer workgroup
A method to build a temporary network in an environment without a wireless LAN access point,
such as Small Office/Home Office (SOHO). Setting a peer-to-peer workgroup allows you to
build a small wireless network. When devices, including computers, are located within the
communication range of one another, setting a peer-to-peer workgroup is the easiest and most
economical method to build a wireless network.
In this workgroup, you can exchange files using the function such as [File and Printer Sharing]
supported by the Microsoft network. It is convenient for sharing data or exchange files in a
family or among friends.
Infrastructure network
A method to connect to a network and access all network facilities from wireless LAN devices
using the wireless access point. You can access both of the following networks:
[Standalone network]
A network that is built with the wireless access point only
[Infrastructure network]
A network topology where the wireless access point is included in the existing wired network
Basic Setup
