Introduction
Communications
Modem Provides capability for data and fax
communication. It supports V.90 (V.92). The speed
of data transfer and fax communication depends
on the analog telephone line conditions. The
computer has a modem jack for connection to a
telephone line. Both V.90 and V.92 are supported
only in the USA, Canada, France and Germany.
V.90 is available in other regions.
Some models are equipped with the integrated
modem.
LAN The computer has built-in support for Ethernet
LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T),
Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000
megabits per second, 1000BASE-T).
It is pre-installed as a standard device in some
markets.
Wireless LAN Some computers in this series are equipped with
a Wireless LAN module that is compatible with
other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing radio technology that complies with
the IEEE 802.11 standard.
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over
which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The
transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified
under the appropriate - the actual transmission speed will be lower than the
theoretical maximum speed.
Bluetooth Some computers in this series are equipped
with Bluetooth functions. Bluetooth wireless
technology eliminates the need for cables
between electronic devices such as computers
and printers. Bluetooth provides fast, reliable,
and secure wireless communication in a small
space. (Provided with some models)
