1. Before connecting the LAN cable, you must attach the ferrite core to the cable:
a. Open the ferrite core.
b. Wind your LAN cable around the core for one circle and close the core, leaving 6 cm between the core and the
connector end.
2. Plug the connector end with the core to the RJ-45 connector on the computer and the other end to the network hub.
NOTE: The appearance of the core may be different from the one shown.
Using the Wireless LAN (option)
Depending on your model, an internal Mini PCI wireless LAN (WLAN) card may have been pre-installed by your computer
manufacturer at the factory. This card allows you to access corporate networks or the Internet in a wireless environment.
The WLAN features include:
* IEEE 802.11b/a standard compliance
* 2.4 GHz DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology
* Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) and Access Point (Infrastructure) modes support
* WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64/128-bit data encryption
* Transmission rate at 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps with automatic data rating
To take advantage of the WLAN feature, make sure that the WLAN driver is installed correctly. (See Chapter 6 for more
information.) If your WLAN card was provided by your dealer instead of the computer manufacturer, contact your dealer
for the correct driver to use.
Configuring the WLAN
After driver installation, you can use the WLAN utility to configure and monitor your WLAN connection. If you are using
Windows XP, you can also use its built-in WLAN utility. Follow this procedure to launch the WLAN utility in Windows XP:
1. Select Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. Click Network and Internet Connections.
3. Click Network Connections, then double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon .
4. Click Properties in the Wireless Network Connection Status dialog box.
5. You can configure your WLAN settings in the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box.
Turning Off/On the WLAN
NOTE: The FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) has deemed it unsafe to operate wireless devices in
aircraft as this may interfere with flight safety. Remember to turn off wireless LAN when using
your computer in the airplane.
Your computer has a built-in Fn+F1 WLAN hot key to switch the WLAN on/off (see “Hot Keys” in chapter 2).
Upon booting-up your computer, the WLAN function is off. Both Windows XP WLAN utility and the Fn+F1 hot key must be
on for the WLAN function to work. The WLAN indicator ( ) glows green to indicate that the computer is ready for WLAN
connection.
To turn off the WLAN function, either press Fn+F1 or turn off the WLAN utility.
It takes approximately 30 seconds for your computer to make a successful WLAN connection and approximately 10 seconds
to disconnect.
