Wireless LAN 76 If you use a wireless LAN, you can use a network without cable connections. CAUTION Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna (A). Do not block the antenna area with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio signals. Do not use the Fast User Switching function. The wireless LAN cannot be used.
Wireless LAN 77 To prevent theft of data or unauthorized access to the hard disk via a wireless LAN. If you plan to use wireless LAN functions, we recommend that you do so only after making the appropriate security settings, such as for data encryption. We recommend turning the wireless LAN off when it is not used or out of range ( page 76). If you leave the wireless LAN on, the battery's operating time is shortened. The Settings To use the wireless LAN, set the profile using the following procedure.
Wireless LAN 78 below is only an example. For the other settings, ask your system administrator or the person in charge of the network.) A Select [64-bit] or [128-bit] from [Encryption Level]. B Select [Use pass phrase] or [Use hex key], and input the pass phrase or key. In the case of ASCII character: [64-bit (5 characters)] [128-bit (13 characters)] . In the case of hexadecimal: [64-bit (10 digits)] [128-bit (26 digits)]. • Set the same values for the computer side and the access point side.
Wireless LAN 79 *1 In the case of wireless communications, the frequency band being used can be divided into segments, so that different communications can be conducted on each band segment.

Diagnostic Test Definition The following is a list of each diagnostic test with details of what it does and what to do if it fails: § Port Presence —Ensures that the communication port, which the computer is using to communicate with the phone, is properly configured on the computer’s operating system. A failure generally indicates a serious operating system problem where the port that the phone was originally configured on no longer exists (i.e.
Optimization Manager The Optimization Manager allows you to select the efficiency settings on your laptop. Optimizing your laptop allows you to download Web pages and images more quickly. You can also verify the status of the optimization feature, and enable and disable it at your discretion. The Optimization feature also allows you to activate additional tools, including content blocking and image quality settings, and set various protocols used to access your POP3 e-mail accounts.
Understanding Optimization Manager Setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer The Optimization Manager uses proxy setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to optimize traffic through its engine. Although we do not recommend manually setting the proxy in your browser, the following identifies the default settings. § HTTP: Set to “localhost,” port “9090” § Secure: Set to “localhost,” port “9092” § FTP: Set to “localhost,” port “9093” IMPORTANT! Optimization Manager requires IE 5.0 or above to function.
Blocking Content Blocking particular types of content is useful when trying to maximize the performance of your laptop while browsing. Animation, applets, audio, and video heavily tax the speed at which your laptop can download information. Preventing these types of content from loading can speed up download times and improve overall performance.
Setting Personal E-Mail Messaging Protocols Setting or configuring your personal Internet protocols enables you to optimize the newsgroup information and e-mail you receive, as well as the e-mail you send through your personal e-mail client program (e.g., Outlook, MSN). For each protocol you wish to use, you will need to include an associated port number. Your message traffic will be compressed and forwarded based on the settings you provide.
To set up POP3: 1. From the Communication Manager main screen, click Optimization Manager > Messaging. 2. If you wish to connect to a POP3 server, type the server’s IP address or hostname in the POP3 text field, and then type the server’s port number in the corresponding Port text field. If you do not wish to connect to a POP3 server, type “no” in the POP3 text field, and leave the Port text field set to the default value. 3.
Maintaining Your Connection The Communication Manager software is automatically configured to search for a EDGE/GPRS connection each time you connect to the Internet. If you are having trouble establishing a connection, verify that the software is still configured to look for EDGE/GPRS. Network Selection Tool The network selection tool is designed to work with PC cards like the Sierra AirCard 750 and the Sony Ericsson GC-82.
2. The Network Selection screen opens and it automatically starts scanning for available networks. The scrolling phone icon is displayed while scanning for networks. Figure 18 Network Selection Scan 3. Once the network scan is complete, the Network Selection screen is displayed.
Note: the first network name displayed may not be the active network. The network name is displayed in the same order that the device gives the information and different devices may do different things. 4. In the Network Selection screen, click Manual or Automatic/Manual to change networks. Figure 20 Selecting Manual Network Selection 5. In the Network list, click the network you want to use.
5. In the Network Selection screen, click OK to use the selected network. Figure 22 Network Selection 6. The selected network is displayed on the Main Window. Figure 23 Display Network Selection 7. Click Refresh List to re-scan for networks. 8. Click Cancel at any time to exit the Network Selection.
Glossary Cache Memory Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. Driver A software routine that links a peripheral device to the operating system. It acts like a translator between a device and the applications that use it. Each device has its own set of specialized commands known only to its driver. In contrast, most applications access devices by using high-level, generic commands.
Internet Protocol (IP) The protocol, or set of rules, that performs the addressing function of the Internet. Every packet of data traveling over Internet networks includes an IP address of its destination and of its sender. Routers and other devices to direct Internet traffic to its proper destination use this IP address. Kilohertz (kHz) One thousand cycles per second; a unit of measure for frequency.
