What is a network?
A network means connecting your PC to another or several other
PCs.

share resources such as printers, modems and hard disk drives.
Here are some practical examples:
• You can exchange Email and manage appointments in an
office.
• Users share a printer in a network and save their data
on a central server.
• Share one modem or one ISDN card among computers for
Internet access.
• Two or more PCs can be connected to play network games
or share data.
Wireless LAN
Your PC is equipped with WLAN. The components (mini-PC
Module) are already integrated and activated in your computer if
your PC is equipped with this functionality. You can turn off the
wireless LAN function with the help of the Windows
®
Device

This function allows you to create a wireless network link with a
partner.
