Information on LCD monitor
High-quality TFT monitors are installed in notebooks f rom Fujit s u S i emens Computers GmbH. The
specification of the monitor resolution indicat es how many pixels can be displ ayed. For example,
"XGA" stands for 1024 x 768 pi xels. Each pixel consists of three so-cal l ed subpixels of the colours
red, green and blue. As a result, an X G A m onitor consists of 1024 x 768 x 3 = 2,359,296 subpixels.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutel y fault-free monitor. A
few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. To ensure the highest possible quality,
Fujitsu Siemens Computers uses only monitors t hat at least comply wit h the standard
DIN ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosit y of the background lighting can
decrease during the period of use of the notebook. The brightness of your m oni tor can be set
individually with the bri ght ness control keys of the keyboard.

Please take note of the information in the section " A ddi tional safety precautions for
devices with wireless LAN", "Important not es" chapter.
Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard
The wireless LAN network card operates in ac cordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. The 2.4
GHz ISM frequency band is used as a communications m edi um. The wireless networks operat i ng i n
accordance with 802.11 can easi l y be connected to exist i ng E thernet networks. With the ex ception
of a few additional parameters, wi rel ess network cards that operat e i n accordance with 802.11 are
one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all prot ocols via a 802.11
wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference
is that you need not lay c abl es between the computers. The number of al l wi rel ess LAN stations that
can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard offers two
operating modes - the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the i nfrastructure mode.
46 A26391-K136-Z120-2-7619
Working with the notebook
Adhoc mode
A wireless LAN in the adhoc m ode, also called peer-to-peer mode, consists of a single c l osed cell.
Adhoc wireless networks result when a workgroup comes together with its systems and would like to
interconnect these for dat a exchange. Any number of systems can be added to this type of network
and can leave it again.
So that several adhoc wireless networks do not interf ere wi t h each other in radio traffic, t here i s a
unique network name, the SSID (S ervice Set Identifier). The SSID is used for addressing so that a
data packet can always be assigned to a certain cell.
If you want to join an existing cell, you require the net work name (SSID), which you ent er i n t he
settings for the network card. The driver searches f or a wi rel ess network with this I D duri ng start-up.
When the driver has found a wireless net work, it connects to i t and you can communicate wi t h the
systems in this wireless network. If two cells are very close together, the channels of these net works
should be 4 to 5 channels apart.
Infrastructure mode
In the infrastructure mode, a base station, referred to as an AccessPoint, exists in addition to t he
mobile stations. I n t he i nfrastructure mode the Acc essPoint assumes the function of a "guard". In
contrast to the adhoc mode, each system must log on to the AccessPoint before it is allowed to
exchange data in the cell.
Another task of the AccessPoint is t he connection of the cells wi th a cable-connected Ethernet. As
due to the logon requirement, the Ac cessPoint knows at al l times exactly which stations are on the
radio side, it can decide ex actly which data must be sent to it and which don't. Thi s process is also
referred to as bridging.
The range of a wireless network can be increased with several AccessPoints. The Ac cessPoints
have the same SSID for t hi s purpose. When a system enters the wireless net, it searches among
the reachable AccessPoints for the one with the strongest signal and logs on there. Two systems
logged on to different AccessPoints communicate with each other in this way, even when they are
not within direct radio reach. If a system also continuously monitors the radio situation after the
logon, it can detect how the signals from an Acces sPoint become weaker and those of anot her
become stronger, and can then log on t o the stronger one without the user noticing. This procedure
is referred to as roaming.
