Operating Basics

LAN

The computer has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per

second, 10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,

100BASE-TX). This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

LAN cable types

If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-

TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable or higher. You cannot use a

CAT3 cable.
If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you

can connect with a CAT3 or higher cable.

■

Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a

microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic

fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.

■

Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionalities off when near a person who

may have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric

device. Radio waves may affect pacemaker or medical device

operation, possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction of

your medical device when using any Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality.

■

Always turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality if the computer is near

automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or

fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

■

It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified

network name using the ad hoc network function.

If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all

computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable

network connections.

* Please be sure to use new network name.

Do not install or remove a memory module while Wake-up on LAN is

enabled.

■

The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system

is off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature.

■

The Link speed (10/100 megabits per second) changes automatically

depending on the network conditions (connected device, cable or

noise, and so on).

The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN.

Logging onto a LAN using the computer's default settings could cause a

malfunction in LAN operation. Check with your LAN administrator

regarding set-up procedures.
