Once your Internet connection is configured, pressing the Internet shortcut button
launches your associated dial-up network connection, allowing you to enter your logon
name and password. In addition, Microsoft Internet Explorer launches, providing quick
access to your favorite Internet sites.
Sending and Receiving E-mail
Your NEC Versa L320 system is equipped with an E-mail shortcut button, located just
above the keyboard. The first time that you press the E-mail shortcut button, the
Internet Connection Wizard launches, allowing you to configure your system for e-mail
access. Once your Internet connection is configured, pressing the E-mail shortcut
button launches your associated dial-up network connection, allowing you to enter your
logon name and password. In addition, Outlook Express launches, providing quick
access to your e-mail functions.
Modifying the Internet and E-mail Shortcut Buttons
The Internet and E-mail shortcut buttons are configured (default setting) to launch your
Internet browser and e-mail applications, respectively. You can modify the default
application settings with the One-Touch Start Button Settings utility which comes on
the Application and Driver CD. See One-Touch Start Button Settings Utility in
Chapter 4 for information about running this utility.
IR Port
The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa L320 communicate with
other devices that also use infrared technology. To locate the IR port, see “Front
Features” in Chapter 1.
The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily transfer
files between your NEC Versa L320 and an IR-equipped desktop, or print to an
IR-equipped printer without using cables.
IR transfer speed ranges from 2.4 Kbit/sec to 4.0 Mbit/sec. You can limit the IR
transfer speed through the Infrared icon in the Windows control panel. Double click
the icon and select the options to access the speed parameter.
Your NEC Versa transfers data at the speed compatible with the receiving device.
