You can use DISE to restore the factory image and return your computer to the state in which it was shipped from Fujitsu.Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store additional image files that you create. For example, if you install several applications and save data files on your hard disk, you can create a new image file that includes them and then save that image file on the hard disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use.Creating a Backup ImageYou can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk.There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When booting up the system, or from the desktop. Creating a backup image when booting upBefore creating a backup image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the CD drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive.To change the boot-up priority:1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu and press [Enter].4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.)5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS Setup Utility and return to the boot process.After you have changed the boot priority, you can create a backup image when you are booting up:1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. 2. When you are asked if you want to restore the factory image, click [Y]es.Creating a backup image from the desktopTo create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.3. Click Yes.DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD after Windows has started.If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at us.fujitsu.com/computers to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive.E Series.book Page 66 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM
67TroubleshootingEnlarging the Backup PartitionIf there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.Restoring a Backup ImageYou can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.2. From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. To re-install drivers and/or applications:1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation screen appears. 2. Select the drivers and applications you want to install from the list that is displayed.3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to complete installation of the selected drivers and/or applications.AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING DRIVER UPDATESYour system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to [Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:■Check for updates nowAllows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact.■Enable Automatic Update NotificationsAutomatically searches for new updates on a regular basis (approximately every 3 days).■Show update historyBrings up a screen that displays a history of updates that have been made via the FDU.■About Fujitsu Driver UpdateDisplays the FDU version number and copyright information■Fujitsu Driver Update ReadmeDisplays the FDU readme.E Series.book Page 67 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM

This type of communication uses an access point.Another type of communication is called AdHoc.IP AddressAn identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes. Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

96LifeBook E Series Notebook - Section FiveBefore Using the Wireless LANThis manual describes the procedures required to prop-erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this DocumentThis document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:■Intel PROSet Wireless LAN (WM3B2200BG)■Atheros Wireless LAN (WLL4030)If your system is an E8010, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is an E8010D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN.Characteristics of the WLAN Device■The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the mainboard of the mobile computer. ■It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands. ■The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Insti-tute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). The Intel WLAN is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.■Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode. ■The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.■The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-ference from external RF sources.■The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption.WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICEAd Hoc Mode (See Figure 5-1)"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti-cation, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network. Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode NetworkE Series.book Page 96 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM
97WIreless LAN User’s Guide Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 5-2)Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.How to Handle This DeviceThe WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device. WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS■The Intel WLAN device is a dual-mode wireless net-work card (supports IEEE802.11b/g); the Atheros device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g.■The Intel WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands.■The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max-imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference.■Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre-quency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICEDeactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device, 1) the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using the Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software.Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off SwitchThe WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi-ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position.

106LifeBook E Series Notebook - Section FiveTroubleshootingCauses and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table. Problem Possible Cause Possible SolutionUnavailable network connectionIncorrect network name (SSID) or network keyAd hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point. Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary. For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following page:·”Assigning parameters” on page 100·Weak received signal strength and/or link qualityAd hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short-ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight.To check the wave condition, refer to the following page:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 105.The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabledCheck if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Starting Transmis-sion” on page 98.The computer to be connected is turned offCheck if the computer to be connected is turned ON.RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networksThe use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device.Wireless network authentication has failedRe-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network.Incorrectly configured network settingsRecheck the configuration of your network settings.For the method of checking, refer to the following page:·“Connection to the Network” on page 103.Incorrect IP address configurationThis only applies to networks using static IP addresses.

107WIreless LAN User’s Guide Wireless LAN GlossaryAd Hoc ModeAd Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Points. Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 96.ChannelRange of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network.DNS (Domain Name System)A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses.IEEE802.11aWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. IEEE802.11bWireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Access pointWireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. IP addressThe logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted decimal notation.LAN (Local Area Network)A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area.MAC address (Media Access Control Address)A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F, or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface.MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.Network keyData that is used for encrypting data in data communi-cation. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication.Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless “Network name (SSID)” coincides with the network key.Open system authenticationNull authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-less client before allowing it to associate.PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet.ProtocolA procedure or rule of delivering data among computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/reception and actions upon communication errors into proce-dures.E Series.book Page 107 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM
108LifeBook E Series Notebook - Section FiveShared key authentication802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key.SSID (Service Set Identifier)Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network. Subnet maskTCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other.TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)A standard protocol of the Internet. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.E Series.book Page 108 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM
