Wireless communications The computer's wireless communication function supports both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth devices. Some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. Wireless LAN The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology that complies with the IEEE802. 11 Wireless LAN standard. Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802. 11a or n draft 2. 0 Frequency Channel Selection of 2. 4GHz for 802. 11b/g or n draft 2. 0 Roaming over multiple channels Card power management Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption based on an 128-bit encryption algorithm Wi-Fi Protected AccessTM (WPATM) support Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption 4-24 User's Manual L500/L505/L500D/L505D The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed. Setting 1. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Connect to a network. Choose a wireless network from the available connection window and click Connect. You will need the name of the wireless network together with security settings. Consult the documentation accompanied with your router or ask your wireless network administrator for the settings.

If this occurs, the outsider may illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of stored data. TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof. Bluetooth wireless technology BluetoothTM wireless technology eliminates the need for cables, such as desktop computers, between your PC and other electronic devices, example of printers and mobile phones. The Link speed (10/100 megabits per second) changes automatically depending on the network conditions (connected device, cable or noise, and so on). User's Manual 4-27 L500/L505/L500D/L505D LAN cable types The computer must be configured properly before connecting to a LAN. Logging onto a LAN using the computer's default settings could cause a malfunction in LAN operation. If you are using Fast Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second, 100BASE-TX), be sure to connect with a CAT5 cable or higher. If you are using Ethernet LAN (10 megabits per second, 10BASE-T), you can connect with a CAT3 or higher cable. Connecting the LAN cable Connect the AC adaptor before connecting the LAN cable. If you disconnect the AC Adaptor while the computer is accessing a LAN, the system may hang up. Do not connect any power supplying device to the LAN cable that is connected to the LAN jack. Turn off the power to the computer and to all external devices connected to the computer. Press gently until you hear the latch click into place. Figure 4-10 Connecting the LAN cable 3. Check with your LAN administrator and hardware or software vendor before using or configuring a network connection. When the computer is exchanging data with the LAN, the LAN Active indicator glows yellow. When the computer is connected to a LAN hub but is not exchanging data, the Link indicator glows. 4-28 User's Manual L500/L505/L500D/L505D Disconnecting the LAN cable Make sure the LAN Active indicator (amber LED) is out before you disconnect the computer from the LAN.

User's Manual Glossary-11 L500/L505/L500D/L505D Random Access Memory (RAM): Volatile memory that can be written to as well as read. Volatile here means that information in RAM is lost when you turn off your computer. resolution: A measure of the sharpness of the images that can be produced by a printer or displayed on a screen. For a screen, it is expressed as the number of pixels available horizontally and vertically restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called "warm boot", "soft reset" or "reboot").
