Broadband Internet connections
You can use your notebook’s Ethernet jack for more than just networking. Many
broadband Internet connections, such as cable modems and DSL modems,
connect to your notebook’s Ethernet jack. For more information, see
“Using
the Internet” on page 73 and “Networking Your Gateway 450” on page 191 .
Installing a printer, scanner, or
other peripheral device
Your notebook or optional port replicator has one or more of the following
ports: IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire
®
or i.Link
®
), Universal Serial Bus (USB),
serial, parallel, TV out, S/PDIF (digital audio). and S-Video (digital video). You
use these ports to connect peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and
digital cameras to your notebook or port replicator. For more information about
port locations, see
“Checking Out Your Gateway 450” on page 1 and “Using
the Gateway 450 Port Replicator” on page 243 .
IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play and hot swapping, which means
that your notebook will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it
into the appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device for the
first time, your notebook will prompt you to install any software the device
needs. After doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect the device at any
time.
Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. See the device
documentation for detailed information and installation instructions.
Important Before you install a printer, scanner, or other peripheral
device, see the device documentation and installation
instructions.
