INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK
The RJ-45 jack is used to connect the internal Fast
Ethernet (10/100 Base-T/Tx) to a Local Area Network
(LAN) in your office or home, or broadband devices such
as a cable modem, DSL, or satellite internet. If your note-
book has been configured with internal LAN capability
you will need to configure your notebook to work with
your particular network. (To properly set up your LAN
environment, consult a networking professional. Refer to
your network administrator for information on your
network configuration.) To connect the LAN cable follow

IEEE 1394 PORT
The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital
devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard
(also known as “FireWire”). The IEEE 1394 standard is
easy to use, connect, and disconnect. This port allows up
to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application may
be required to operate your device with the 1394 port
.

The internal modem is not intended for
use with Digital PBX systems. Do not
connect the internal modem to a Digital
PBX as it may cause serious damage to the
modem or your entire LifeBook notebook.
Consult your PBX manufacturer’s
documentation for details. Some hotels
have Digital PBX systems. Be sure to find
out BEFORE you connect your modem.
■
The internal modem is designed to the
ITU-T V.90 standard. Its maximum
speed of 53000bps is the highest
allowed by FCC, and its actual connec-
tion rate depends on the line conditions.
Maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.
■ The internal modem on all LifeBook
notebooks are certified for use in the
United States and Canada. The modem
may be certified in other countries.
The 1394 port used in this system uses a
four-pin configuration. If you intend to
interface with devices which use a six-pin
configuration, you will need to purchase
an adapter.
