Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunication ne permettent pas que l’on raccorde leur matériel à des jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis prévus par les tarifs paticuliers de ces entreprises. Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de 12
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement. Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales. AvertissementL’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à électricien, selon le cas. L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) du présent matériel RD02-D110 est de 0.1. L’IES assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.

You can connect to the Internet without connecting a wire to your computer by setting up a wireless access point or residential gateway. A wireless access point does not connect you to the Internet directly. Instead, it connects to a wired connection such as a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a phone line. Certain types of wireless connections, such as wireless LAN (the IEEE 802.11 standard), are being used to connect to an access point. To connect to an access point, you will need several pieces of information. You will need to know the network name (obtain this from your administrator), and your MAC address (which should have come with your computer or wireless networking card). You may also need to set up encryption. Contact your administrator for your network name and encryption settings. You may need to register your MAC address with your network administrator before connecting to your company network. A residential gateway is the consumer version of an access point. Consult your residential gateway instructions for setup. Be careful to disable the wireless function when you are not using it because it uses power even when you are not connected to the network. Some models have an integrated Wireless LAN antenna and hardware. If your computer did not come with integrated wireless, you can purchase a PC Card as an option. Wireless LAN gives you a high-speed connection to an access point. If your computer comes with the built-in wireless LAN or wireless WAN card, refer to Making wireless LAN connections and Using wireless WAN connections for more information. If your computer has the Integrated Bluetooth features and/or is equipped with the Certified Wireless USB, refer to Using Bluetooth and Using Certified Wireless USB for more information.

Attention: If you carry your ThinkPad computer with the wireless LAN feature into an airplane, you need to disable it before boarding. To disable it, refer to the instructions in Enabling or disabling the wireless feature. Wireless networking setup Wireless security features Checking wireless connection status Enabling or disabling the wireless feature Wireless upgradeable ThinkPad models Note: Some models come with a wireless networking card and a wireless LAN configuration utility built in. If your computer does not come with these features, you can purchase the wireless networking card as an option. For more information, refer to Finding ThinkPad options. Note: If you use the wireless LAN feature, place your computer so that there are as few obstacles as possible between the wireless LAN access point and the computer. Also for the best connection of the wireless LAN feature, open your computer display to an angle of slightly more than 90 degrees.
