Exploring Your Computer’s Features

Setting up for communications

Using Wireless LAN connectivity

Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to

purchase additional software, external hardware or services.

Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited.

Your system comes with a 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 enable or disable wireless communication, use the F12 key. For

more information see “TOSHIBA Function Keys” on page 146.

When Airplane mode is OFF, the wireless indicator light will be

lit.

For help with common Wi-Fi

networking problems, see “Wireless

networking problems” on page 136.

Connecting your computer to a network

You can connect your computer to a network to increase its

capabilities and functionality using one of its communication ports.

Accessing a network

To access a network, connect an Ethernet cable to the Network port

(RJ45) on your computer. For specific information about

connecting to the network, consult your network administrator.

Many hotels, airports, and offices offer Wi-Fi

access.
