The internal modem is designed to the
ITU V.90 standard. Its maximum speed
of 53000bps is the highest allowed by
FCC, and its actual connection rate
depends on the line conditions. The
maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.
■
The internal modem on all LifeBook
notebooks from Fujitsu Computer
Systems Corporation are certified for use
in the United States and Canada.
■
Depending upon the configuration of
your system, your LifeBook notebook
may have either a LAN jack or an IEEE
1394 jack.
The internal modem is not intended for
use with Digital PBX systems. Do not
connect the internal modem to a Digital
PBX as it may cause serious damage to the
internal modem or your entire LifeBook
notebook. Consult your PBX
manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Some hotels have Digital PBX systems. Be
sure to find out BEFORE you connect your
modem.
Note that the optional Port Replicator is
designed to cover the LAN jack located on
the system. This design ensures that the
LAN jack on the Port Replicator is the only
one used when the Port Replicator is
installed.
■
A mouse, keyboard, or keypad may be
installed and automatically recognized
by your notebook without restarting or
changing setups.
■
The use of two PS/2 devices simulta-
neously from the port requires a PS/2
splitter.
