User’s Manual
(Transmitter Operating Instructions)
The applying LMA transmitter device is an easy access adapter for users with plug and play
structure, so users don’t have to take care for any special operation. The instructions shown from the
next page are the only ones provided to users that are displayed on LCD screen of the host PC
(ThinkPad X41 Tablet Series).

Wireless connections
You can connect to the Internet without connecting a wire to your computer by setting up a wireless access point or residential
gateway. A wireless access point does not connect you to the Internet directly. Instead, it connects to a wired connection such as a
cable modem, a DSL modem, or a phone line.
Certain wireless technologies are being used to connect to an access point. Wireless LAN (the IEEE 802.11 standard) and
Bluetooth technologies work similarly for wireless networking.
To connect to an access point, you will need several pieces of information. You will need to know the network name (obtain this
from your administrator), and your MAC address (which should have come with your computer or wireless networking card). You
may also need to set up encryption. Contact your administrator for your network name and encryption settings. You may need to
register your MAC address with your network administrator before connecting to your company network. A residential gateway is
the consumer version of an access point. Consult your residential gateway instructions for setup.
Be careful to disable the wireless function when you are not using it because it uses power even when you are not connected to the
network. Some models have an integrated Wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth antenna and hardware. If your computer did not come
with integrated wireless, you can purchase a PC Card as an option. Wireless LAN gives you a high-speed connection to an access
point.
If your computer comes with the built-in wireless networking card, refer to Making wireless LAN connections for more information.
Making wireless LAN connections
You can stay connected to your network while you are in the office, in a meeting room, or at home, with no need for a wired
connection. Some ThinkPad(R) models come with a built-in wireless networking card and a configuration utility to help you make
wireless connections and monitor the status of your connection.

IBM Access Connections, a connectivity assistant program, can easily enable one network adapter and disable the other adapters
on demand. After setting up your wireless networking connection, you can use the program to quickly switch the network settings.

Wireless security features
Advances in wireless technology require that we manage your security more reliably than ever. Therefore, IBM has extended its
IBM Embedded Security Subsystem to encompass virtually all of our ThinkPad(R) and desktop computer lines. This security
subsystem helps protect data, hardware, network access and communications - both wired and wireless - on select ThinkPad and
desktop PCs.
The IBM Embedded Security Subsystem provides hardware-based protection of critical security information, including passwords,
encryption keys, and electronic credentials. It also helps identify computer users involved in transactions, and helps establish that
data transmissions are authentic, confidential and intact.
IBM Security and Privacy Services for wireless risk assessment and wireless solution design can help you assess the risks based
on your business needs, identify your information risk position, and integrate security strategies, policies, and architectures to help
you achieve your wireless e-business objectives. To effectively manage risk on an ongoing basis, organizations must have a sound
security strategy. By understanding threats and vulnerabilities at an early stage, we can help define the necessary scope and
features of your wireless e-business security infrastructure.

wireless status icon in the system tray.
The Access Connections wireless status icon displays the signal strength and status of your wireless connection as follows:
No link or a very poor one
Usable but weak link
Strong link

Wireless upgradeable ThinkPad models
Depending on the model, your ThinkPad(R) computer might be wireless upgradeable. This means that your computer has an
antenna that can support wireless LAN access when wireless LAN access points are available. Wireless devices are available

Installing the software in Windows XP and Windows 2000
To use an option Card with your ThinkPad computer, first you need to install the software necessary to run it. Do the following:
1. Start your operating system. Log on with a user ID authorized as an administrator.
2. Insert the Installation CD into the CD-ROM or DVD drive of your ThinkPad computer. The Welcome screen appears.
3. Click Next. The Select Packages screen appears.
4. The program detects if any of the software components have already been installed. All listed components are selected
automatically if none of the components have been installed already. If you clear any of the check boxes on the menu screen,
the corresponding components will not be installed.
5. Click Next, and follow the instructions on the screen.
After you have installed the software, you need to configure wireless network connection. Start the IBM Access Connections and
follow the instructions on the screen.
