Accessing a LAN
To access a LAN:
❖ At the office, you can connect the network Ethernet cable
to the RJ45 jack on your computer.
❖ Your computer may be equipped for wireless
communications. If so, see “Using wireless LAN
connectivity” on page 151.
❖ From home or while on the road you will need a dial-up
connection. Ask your network administrator for the
telephone number to access the network.
Using wireless LAN connectivity
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the
distance over which wireless LAN can reach may vary
depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment,
obstacles, access point design and configuration, and client
design and software/hardware configurations. The actual
transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical
maximum speed.
Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN
module. This is a technology that expands wireless
communication beyond networking equipment, and can
connect many different kinds of electronic devices without
the need for cables.
For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer
to your wireless networking device documentation or your
network administrator.
To use your wireless communication, slide the wireless on/off
switch to the On position.
For help with common Wi-Fi networking problems, see
“Wireless networking problems” on page 218.
