The internal modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands from the operating system and application software. The standard long form result codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The operating system and application software may suppress display of the result codes. Examples of result codes are:■OK■NO CARRIER■NO DIALTONE■CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete at 53,000 bps.)■ERROR■FAX■RING (This means an incoming call.)■BUSY■NO ANSWERWhen using the internal modem with applicationsthat are not factory installed refer to theapplication documentation.S Series.book  Page 65  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PM
66LifeBook S7000 NotebookRESTORING YOUR PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWAREThe Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD contains:■Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-book configuration for use as documented below.■A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) utility on your hard disk drive.■Read-me files that provide additional use information for items on this CD-ROM.DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has used DISE to create an image of everything installed on the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. 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 If your system was delivered with Windows 2000 as the operating system, the Windows 2000 image is on the D: partition, but the Restore Disc contains Windows XP. If you decide to restore your system from the Restore Disc, you will overwrite Windows 2000 with the Windows XP operating system.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.S Series.book  Page 66  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PM
67Troubleshootingto 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.Enlarging 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.S Series.book  Page 67  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PM

96LifeBook S7000 NotebookBefore  Using  the  Wireless  LANThe Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail-able for Fujitsu mobile computers. T his manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper-ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.Types  of  Wireless LANs 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/WLL3050)If your system is a Stylistic S7010, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is a Stylistic S7010D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN;  Characteristics  of  the DeviceThis device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI  slot.The main characteristics are as follows:It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band; additionally, the Atheros wireless LAN operates in the 5 GHz RF band.It does not require an FCC license to operate.It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.This wireless module is Wi-Fi compliant. The module can communicate at a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps.The maximum communication range is approxi-mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. Please note that the range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending upon factors such as obstructions, walls, columns, construction material, and reflective objects.The wireless module s support a number of industry-standard security mechanisms, including WEP, TKIP, and 802.1x/EAP (LEAP, TLS, PEAP, MD5).W ireless LAN  Modes  Using this  DeviceAd H oc Mode (See Figure 1)“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that involves connecting multiple computers without the use of an Access Point. Network connectivity between computers can be established using only wireless LAN cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.To use Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. Communication between computers in an Ad Hoc network will occur provided they are within each other’s RF coverage area. Figure  1.  Ad  Hoc  M ode  NetworkS Series.book  Page 96  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PMWM3B2915ABG)
97WIreless LAN User’s Guide Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 2)If a number of computers are connected simultaneously in the Ad Hoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN network is in the “Access Point mode” when it uses an access point, and such a connection is called the “Access Point Network” or “Infrastructure Network”. By using an access point, you can set and use a different communication channel for each network group. Each channel is given a different radio frequency, and it eliminates the collision of communications and provides a more stable communications environment. How to Handle This DeviceThe Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The LAN has been configured to support the oper-ating system with which your system shipped.FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONSThis personal computer may not operate properly due to the operating environment. Strictly observe the following precautions when installing the main unit of the computer:■For optimum wireless communications, it recom-mended that operation of the wireless LAN module occur within 25 meters of the Access Point. Wireless range is dependent on a multitude of factors including number of obstructions, walls, type of construction material, reflective objects, etc.■If the computer is unable to communicate properly, change the channel to be used or the installation loca-tion. During the use of a microwave oven or other equipment generating strong high-frequency energy, in particular, the personal computer may be highly susceptible to the energy and unable to communicate properly.■Broadcast stations or wireless communication equip-ment that operate in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz RF Fre-quency band may interfere with the operation of the wireless LAN module. Increasing of transmit power or relocating Access Points may be necessary to combat the effects of the interference.Figure 2.

110LifeBook S7000 NotebookTroubleshootingCauses 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 pages:· Windows XP: “Assigning parameters” on page 99· Windows 2000: “Assigning parameters” on page 105Poor radio wave conditionAd 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 pages:· Windows XP: “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 103.· Windows 2000: “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 108Radio wave transmission has stoppedCheck if the wireless switch is turned ON.

113WIreless LAN User’s Guide Wireless LAN GlossaryAd hocA designation for wireless LAN network configuration. It indicates a form of communication limited to those personal computers which have wireless LAN function. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 96.ChannelThe frequency band of wireless LAN to be used in communications over wireless LAN or at the access point.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)A protocol used for automatically fetching communica-tion parameters such as IP addresses. The side which assigns IP address is called DHCP server and the side that is assigned it is called DHCP client.DNS (Domain Name System)A function that controls the correspondence of IP addresses assigned to a computer with the name. Even for those computers whose IP addresses are unknown, if their names are known, it is possible to communicate with them.IEEE802.11aOne of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by the 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 54 Mbps by using a 5GHz band which can freely be used without radio communication license. IEEE802.11bOne of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 11Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM band) which can freely be used without radio communication license. Access pointA designation of Wireless LAN network configurations. It indicates a form of communication using an Access Point. For details, refer to “access point connection” on page 96.IP addressAn address used by computers for communicating in TCP/IP environment. IP addresses have global and private addresses. A global address is a unique address in the world. A private address is a unique address within a closed network.LAN (Local Area Network)An environment connecting computers within a rela-tively small range, such as the same floor and building.MAC address (Media Access Control Address)A physical address inherent to a network card. For Ethernet, the top three bytes are controlled/assigned as a vendor code. The remaining three bytes comprise the code uniquely (to avoid duplication) controlled by each vendor. As a result, there is no Ethernet card with the same physical address in the world. In Ethernet, the frame transmission/reception is performed based on this address.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 authenticationThe method of authentication performed by wireless LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are two types: open system authentication and shared key authentication. The type of authentication must be set to each client and also coincide with the setting of access point with which to communicate. Network authentica-tion is sometimes called authentication mode.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 authenticationOne of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-tion, clients can connect to the access point without S Series.book  Page 113  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PM
114LifeBook S7000 Notebooksubmitting correct network keys. However, in case of actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication.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.Shared key authenticationOne of the network authentication types for wireless LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks whether the same network key is set to the client. If the client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no communications with the access point.SSID (Security Set Identifier)See “Network name”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 Indicates that the interconnectivity test of the organiza-tion which guarantees the compatible connection of wireless LAN (Wi-Fi Alliance) has been passed.S Series.book  Page 114  Thursday, February 12, 2004  4:15 PM
