Connecting VAIO Computers
The preinstalled Smart Connect software enables you to use an optional
i.LINK®
*
cable to connect your VAIO notebook to another VAIO computer that
also has Smart Connect. You can then use one computer to edit, copy or delete
files on the other computer. You can also print from a printer attached to either
computer.
See Smart Connect online help for more information.
* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394
connection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, oper-
ating system, and i.LINK-compatible devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may
not communicate with each other.
Please refer to the documentation that came with your i.LINK-compatible device for infor-
mation on operating conditions and proper connection. Before connecting i.LINK-compati-
ble PC peripherals to your system, such as CD-RW or hard disk drive, confirm their
operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.
Connecting with an i.LINK cable
Note the following:
When you connect two VAIO computers, you must assign each computer a
unique name. The computers can be identified by this unique name when the two
computers are networked together.
If you have previously purchased a VAIO computer or notebook that does not
have Smart Connect 3.0 software preinstalled, consult the Sony Web site for
support options (http://www.sony.com/pcsupport).
