Operating Basics

Wireless communication Indicator

The wireless communication indicator shows the status of the computer's

wireless communication functions.

If you used the Taskbar to disable the wireless LAN, restart the computer or

perform the following procedure to re-enable it: Start -> Control Panel

-> System and Security -> System -> Device Manager -> Network

adapters and right click the wireless device then choose enable.

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) or Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,

1000BASE-T).
This section describes how to connect/disconnect to a LAN.

LAN cable types

If you are using Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1000 megabits per second,

1000BASE-T), be sure to connect with a CAT5E cable or higher. You

cannot use a CAT3 or CAT5 cable.
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.

Indicator status

Indication

Indicator off

The wireless communication switch is off - no

wireless functionality is available.

Indicator glows

Wireless communication switch is on. Except for

the stopped device by the software switch, all

the wireless-communications functions can

output a radio wave.

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 (10/100/1000 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.
