Check if the AP operates properly. If the AP is not operating properly, turn it off and on again and try again. Check if the AP firmware is the latest version. (For more information on the AP firmware, ask the AP manufacturer or your product provider.) Check if the AP is properly connected to the network. Connect the LAN cable from the AP to a computer and check if the network is connected properly. Check the Network Key (Encryption Key) settings again. If the automatic password converting function (passphrase function) is enabled and the wireless connection is normal but you cannot send data over the connection, please enter the Network Key (Encryption Key) manually. 167 A6 Check the AP settings as follows. If there are multiple APs running at the same time, check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may experience electromagnetic interference. Set the channel numbers of the APs so that the internals between the channels are maximized. (for example, Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13) computer. It is recommended unselecting the Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service Set ID) is a name used to distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless LANs. It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Although some APs support Short Preamble, there might be a compatibility problem. Because “Fixed” channel selection is more stable then ‘Auto’ channel selection, “Fixed” channel selection is recommended. It is recommended not using the “Block Any” and “Any Connection Block” functions. Although these functions block connections at the client side when the network name is Any or Blank, it may cause a compatibility problem. For more information on the AP settings, see the owner’s manual supplied with the AP. follows; (for example, 169.254.xxx. xxx). If your network does not support DHCP, you have to manually configure an IP address by asking your network administrator. In addition, even if your network supports DHCP, the Internet connection may not be available if the DHCP server fails to allocate an IP address to your computer. Although a connection has been established, I cannot connect to the Internet. Check the TCP/IP settings. A If you cannot connect to the Internet but you are connected to an AP, check if the TCP/IP settings are configured properly.

By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved. DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by doubling the operating speed of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses DDR SDRAM. Driver Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device. 188 LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows XP uses TCP/IP as the default protocol. DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required. Firewall A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain. Hibernation Mode A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state. Icon This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use. 189 Network A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link.
