When you press the Fn + Right-click buttons at the same time, they provide a Hovering function. Hovering mode provides you with better cursor control. When hovering is enabled, the cursor can be positioned over an area of the scree without activating it. This is useful when you are attempting to read pop-up text associated with an icon, simulating mouse rollover, selecting a small icon, or beginning a paint session. Note that when Hovering Mode is active, the Hovering Mode Status Display LED is lit (see Tab le 1-2). Pressing the Fn + Right-click buttons at the same time again exits the Hovering function.

Description
When you press the Orientation button, the system screen orientation changes from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) or from landscape to portrait. When you would like to use the tablet as an eBook, for example, you would use the portrait orientation, when accessing spreadsheets, you would more typically use a landscape orientation.
The Escape application button acts the same way as an Escape key on a keyboard.
When you press the Fn + Esc buttons at the same time*, they act to invoke a pre-determined application or generate a combination keystroke, as assigned the T ablet Button Settings utility. (You can change the settings in Control Panel ->
Tablet Button Settings). By default, pressing the Fn + Esc combination acts the same
as if you had pressed Ctl + Esc on a keyboard: the Start menu is launched.
The Enter application button acts the same way as an Enter key on a keyboard.
Pressing the Fn + Ent buttons at the same time*, acts to invoke a pre-determined application or keystroke combination, as assigned the Tablet Button Settings utility. (You can change the settings in Control Panel -> Tablet Button Settings).
By default, pressing the Fn + Ent combination acts the same as if you had pressed Alt on a keyboard: it selects a main menu in the typical Windows application.
The Function button works in conjunction with the other application buttons to provide additional functionality for the buttons. Refer to specific details above.*
Pressing the Fn button twice in succession (within the “sticky time*), causes the Fujitsu menu to appear on your screen, allowing you to modify certain system settings.
Table 1-3 Application Buttons - Primary and Secondary Functions
* The Fn button has a handy “sticky” feature that allows you to press the two buttons in immediate
succession, rather than at exactly the same time. After pressing the Fn button, you have a short time (2 to 3 seconds) to press the second button. Note that this feature is not available with
the Right-Click/Hovering button.

TERTIARY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS
While you are booting up your system, the Application Buttons and Navigation buttons can be used for entering and navigating through the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS), and for invoking the Advanced Options Menu, where you can enter different modes (such as Safe Mode).
The BIOS is a program and a set of parameters that are stored in ROM which tests and operates your Pen Tablet PC from when you turn it on until
it loads your installed operating system from disk. Information from the BIOS is transferred to the operating system to provide it with information on the configuration and status of the hardware.
The system is booting up while the Fujitsu logo is displayed immediately after turning on the system. The table below indicates how the buttons act while the system is booting up and while you are in the BIOS.
Buttons/Icons
Purpose (when pressed while the system is booting up)
Pressing the Ctl-Alt-Del button while the system is booting up takes you into BIOS setup. This is the same as if you had tapped [F2] on a ke yboard.
Pressing the Right-Click button while the system is booting up opens the Boot Options menu. This is the same as if you had tapped [F12] on a keyboard.
Pressing the Orientation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the selected item (if applicable) to change to the next item. Pressing this is the same as tapping the spacebar on a keyboard.
Pressing the Esc button while the BIOS is open acts to escape from the BIOS. This is the same as if you had tapped [Esc] on a keyboard.
Pressing the Ent button while the BIOS is open acts the same as the [Ent] button on a keyboard.
Pressing the Fn button while the system is displaying the operating system boot menu opens the Advanced Operating System Options menu. This menu allows you to enter different operating system modes (such as Safe Mode). Pressing this button is the same as if you had tapped [F8] on a keyboard.
Pressing the top half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move up. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Up on a ke yboard. This f eature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.
Pressing the bottom half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move down. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Down on a keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.
Pressing the top half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move right. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Right on a keyboard.
Pressing the bottom half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move left. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Left on a keyboard.

Using the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system functions of the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you attempt to operate the system.
Prior to using your system, be sure to fully charge the battery if you plan to run on battery power. Failure to do so may result in erratic performance.
SYSTEM STATES
Before you begin using the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC, review the different system states (or modes) that the system can use. Being familiar with these states will help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, hibernate or shut down the system when you begin or end a session. System behavior for each system state is described briefly in the following, with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage:
Suspend-to-RAM mode. Refer to the Resuming System Operation section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
• Hibernate mode (Save-to-Disk) (S4):
System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the pen or other input. Refer to the Resuming System Oper ation section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
• Off state: All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the pen or other input. The system boots at the next system power-on.
The system consumes the same amount of power whether it is in Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode or the Off state.
• On state: The system is running and the display screen is on.
• Idle state: Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen may be turned off. The system returns to the On state when pen activity or other input is detected.
• Suspend-to-RAM mode (S3): System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen or other input when in
Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
When you use the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/ 21P Tablet PC, you can change the current system state in a number of ways, depending on the systems current state. To determine the current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status display. Table 2-1 on page 20 gives the different system states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system state from the current state.

Purpose
Table 2-1 Changing System States
* Information in Table 2-1 on page 20 is supplied to help you understand which system states your
system can enter from the current system state. Refer to the procedures on starting the system, shutting down the system, suspending system operation, and resuming system operation given later in this chapter.
Your system may be configured to use either Suspend-to-RAM mode or Hibernate mode.
POWERING UP THE PEN TABLET PC
Follow the procedure below to start the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in Off state or in Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continuously), do not perform this procedure. See System States earlier in this chapter for details on modes represented by the Power icon.
1. Ensure that the battery in your Pen Tablet PC is sufficiently charged, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter to your Pen Tablet PC.
2. Press the Power On/Suspend/Resume button to start the system.
1. If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. See Resuming System Opera­tion later in this chapter for details.
2. Save your work and close all running programs.
3. Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu.
4. Carry out the Shut Down command.
The system is now in the Off state.
SUSPENDING SYSTEM OPERATION
The Pen Tablet PC allows you to suspend the system operation without closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed.
After performing initialization, the system starts the operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once the operating system is running, you can use the system.
SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:
20
If you have set your system to turn power off from the P ower Options utility in the Control Panel, the following procedure will not be possible, since pressing the button shuts the system down rather than suspending it. To change your power options, go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options.
Page 31
Using Your Stylistic ST4120P/21P
To suspend system operation:
1.
Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating system or power management progr am. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode, which is explained later in this procedure, a message is displayed while data is saved to your hard disk.)
If you are replacing the battery, wait until
system operation is suspended and the power icon is flashing before you remove the
battery. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved data. (Note that if the Resume On LAN function is enabled in the BIOS setup, you should not remove the battery unless the system is shut down. When Resume ON LAN is enabled, the bridge battery is disabled in order to optimize battery life.)
2. The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to­RAM) or is not displayed (Hibernate) when system operation is suspended, depending on how your system is configured. At this point, programs that were running are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two different low-power states, or suspend modes, as explained in the following paragraphs.
Operation later in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:
You can remove the battery while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes in order to install a charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery. Note that after you remove the battery, you have approximately five minutes to replace it with a new battery or to plug in a power supply before the bridge battery is depleted.
Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.
Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate mode automatically after a period of time in Suspend-to-RAM mode.
The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the
system rather than using Suspend-to­RAM mode.
3. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is using.
Power icon is b linking: Suspend-to-RAM mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the battery charge level.
• Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate
(Save-to-Disk)
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in Hibernate mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status displa y. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now suspended. Refer to Resuming System
mode.
If the battery charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning level while the system is running, the system will beep periodically. If this occurs, suspend system operation, shut down the system, or attach an external power source, such as the AC adapter, to the Pen Tablet PC.
If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is running, the system is forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend­to-RAM or Hibernate). If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery, or connect an appropriate external power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend-to- RAM mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
Suspending system operation interrupts data communications; therefore, some programs may b lock the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
21
Page 32
Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC Users Guide - Section One
The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume
button may be disabled to prevent accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend mode can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless network, you may be logged off the network after a period of inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network administrator or help desk for details on log-off parameters for your network.
RESUMING SYSTEM OPERATION
To resume system operation from either Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes, press the Suspend/Resume button.
• From Suspend-to-RAM mode
Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system returns to the On state and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the pen becomes active due to the power-up sequences observed by the system.
• From Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode
Active data is read from the hard disk drive, and the system returns to the On state after a short time.
USING THE PEN
You can use the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Pen to select items, and to navigate through programs on the Pen Tablet PC. The pen can be used like a two button mouse when used in conjunction with the right-mouse button.
Ensure that a screen protector is installed on the Pen Tablet PC screen before you use the pen. The warranty does not cover a screen that is scratched as a result of not using a screen protector.
Use only the pen provided with your Pen Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC. (e.g., ball point pens, fingernail, or screwdriver). Damage caused by using an instrument other than the provided pen is not covered by the system warranty.
Here are some hints on using the pen similar to a two-button mouse on a desktop system:
To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once. This functions like a left mouse button click.
Note that power to several system components must be restored before system operation resumes. Allow
sufficient time for system operation to resume before attempting to use the system. If your system uses Hibernate mode, it will take longer to resume operation as compared to using Suspend­to-RAM mode. Time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive.
Use the system as you normally would once system operation resumes.
All programs resume at the point where execution stopped when system operation was suspended.
22
To “double-click” an object, tap twice on the object quickly. (The pen double-click speed is in sync with the mouse double-click speed, and can be changed by going to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Mouse.
To generate a “right mouse button single­click”, press the Right-Click Application
Button , then tap on the object once.
To move, or “drag”, an object on the screen, place the pen tip directly over the
object, then as you hold the pen tip against the screen, move the pen.

2.
Attach the other end of the pen tether to the attachment point on your Pen Tablet PC. To do so, insert the end of the pen tether through the attachment point, then feed the pen through the large loop in the tether.
CALIBRA TING THE PEN
Calibration of the pen adjusts the cursor position on the screen relative to the position of the pen tip. You calibrate the pen to adjust the distance error between where the pen actually touches the screen and where the system “thinks” the pen is touching. If the event you wish to invoke is not displayed under the pen tip when you use the pen, you should calibrate the pen.
Pen calibration may be required due to the following situations:
• The pen is being used for the first time.
• The previous user of the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC writes with the opposite hand or at a different pen angle.
• The system has been in use for some time and the pen has not been recalibrated.
• The original system image has been restored.
To Calibrate the Pen
1. Open the Control Panel from the Start | Settings menu, and double-tap the Pen Configuration icon. In the Setup Property page, tap on [Calibrate] to start calibration.
2. Position the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC as you normally would during use. Be sure to hold the pen at the angle that you regulary use. Touch the screen only with the pen tip; inadvertently touching the screen with your finger or hand during the calibration process, ma y result in faulty calibration.
3. Perform the calibration steps according to the instructions on the screen. The calibration utility displays a cross-hair symbol in the corners of the screen, one corner at a time. Hold the pen as you normally would while using the system and, as accurately as possible, tap the center of each crosshair as it is displayed.
4. When the Verify New Pen Calibration Settings window appears, choose one of the following steps.
• If you are satisfied that you tapped the
cross-hairs accurately, tap Yes. The taps that you performed in step 3 are then used to calibrate the screen.
• If you do not want to use the new
calibration, tap No.
• If you want to enter a new calibration, tap
Recalibrate. The calibration instructions reappear.
• If you don’t tap the screen within 20
seconds, the default settings will be used.
If you have successfully performed the procedure above, the pen is now recalibrated, and can use the system as you normally would.

Replacing the Pen
With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up foreign particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged or worn tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these problems, contact your reseller to purchase replacements.
USING HOVERING MODE
Selecting the Pen Hovering application button on the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC provides you with better cursor control. When the hovering option is enabled, the cursor can be positioned over an icon without activ ating it. The is useful when you are performing procedures that require accurate cursor positioning, such as when simulating mouse rollover, selecting a small icon, or beginning a paint session.
To enable hovering, press the Function button and the Right-Click button
at the same time.
2. Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display to determine the percent of charge in the battery. See “Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a description of the Battery Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the Pen Tablet PC, the charging process continues until the battery charge reaches 100%. Charge times shown in Table 2-3, “Battery Charging Time" are for a fully discharged battery charging both while the Pen Tablet PC is and is not in use.

CHARGING THE BA TTER Y
The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet battery can be charged while it is installed in the Pen Tablet PC.
To do so:
1. Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC input connector on the Pen Tablet PC. The DC Input icon appears in the Status display. If the battery charge is below 90%, the battery begins charging and the Charging icon appears in the Status display. If the battery charge is 90% or higher when you connect DC power, the battery will not charge, preventing battery overcharging.
Also note the following with respect to charging the battery:
You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process; however, using the system while the battery is charging will cause the battery to charge at a slower rate, as noted in Table 2-3, Battery Charging Time".
As noted in the procedure above, the system will not begin charging the battery if the battery charge level is 90% or higher when the system is initially connected to external DC power. (This prevents the battery from being overcharged.)
The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet battery uses Lithium ion battery cells which have no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery before you begin charging.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The battery can be removed from the Pen Tablet PC and swapped with a charged battery. The battery can then be charged in an external charger if one is available. To remove the battery from the Pen Tablet PC:
1. Choose one of the following:
If a charged battery is available, you can suspend system operation. A built-in bridge battery will maintain the system in Suspend-to-RAM mode for about 5 minutes while the battery is removed; this allows time for replacement with a charged battery.
If a charged battery is not available, save your work and close all running programs, then shut down the system or Hibernate (Save-to-Disk).
Plug in an external DC power source.
2. Slide the battery release latch in the direction indicated.

Once the battery is installed, you can resume system operation or start and use your system normally.
TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
You can extend the charge life of your battery by conserving battery power. (Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
Use an external power source such as the AC adapter whenever the system is docked.
Suspend system operation if you know that you wont be using the system for a while.
Shut down the system if you wont be using the system for an extended period of time.
Use power management (available on the desktop) to help you conserve power automatically.
Battery life is dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and applications in use.
Operation of the Bridge Battery
When installed in the Pen Tablet PC, the battery provides power to some system componentseven when the system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery that is built into the Pen Tablet PC.
The bridge battery is not designed for long­term operation. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures:
Figure 2-2 Removing the Battery
The bridge battery function is disabled if Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS. The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state. Be sure to
charge it sufficiently before relying upon it to support the system in the event of battery removal.

PROTECTING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC is designed to provide you with years of service. Using a screen protector will help ensure that the screen remains as clear as possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a durable, replaceable writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion.
NOTE:
The Screen Proctector is sold separately, please check with your dealer.
During normal use of the Pen Tablet PC, small particles from the environment can become embedded in the pen tip and scratch the screen. To prevent scratching the screen, ensure that a screen protector is installed before using your Pen Tablet PC. The warranty does not cover a screen that is scratched as a result of not using a screen protector.
To install a new screen protector on your Pen Tablet PC:
1. If a screen protector is already installed on the display screen, remove it before installing the new screen protector.
3. Remove the protective coating from the adhesive side of the screen protector first, as shown in Figure 3-1.
• The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC is not water- proof. Do not pour liquids on the system or wash it with a heavily soaked cloth.
• Do not place items on the top of the display, or damage may occur.

5. Apply pressure to the screen protector with your finger using a continuous wiping motion along the edges. The adhesive sets completely within 48 hours. To ensure a good seal between the screen protector and the display, do not lift the screen protector from the display once it has been applied.
6. Remove the protective plastic cover from the face of the screen protector, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Installing the screen protector
7. Clean any residue left behind by the protective coating from the exposed surface of the screen protector by wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the screen protector with a soft dry cloth to remove any low-tack adhesive; this will help prevent the pen tip from squeaking.
The screen protector is now installed.
STORING THE T ABLET PC
Store the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC in the Off state with a fully charged battery installed. You can store the Pen Tablet PC in the Off state for about 30 days with a fully charged battery installed. After this period, the battery should be recharged or replaced with a charged battery.
If you intend to store the Pen Tablet PC for a longer period of time, the small battery that maintains system time may need to be replaced. Replacement of the clock battery should only be performed by authorized technicians.
AVOIDING OVERHEATING
The Pen Tablet PC monitors its internal temperature. As the internal temperature approaches the tolerable limits of heat-sensitive components, system functions are automatically limited or turned off to prevent damage.
To avoid overheating the Pen Tablet PC, do not obstruct the air vents on the top and bottom edges of the Pen Tablet PC.
CLEANING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
To clean the Pen Tablet PC display screen, wipe the screen surface gently using a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol.
The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC is not waterproof. Do not pour liquids on the Pen Tablet PC or wash the Pen Tablet PC with a heavily soaked cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions to some common problems are described in the following sections. If you are experiencing a problem with your Pen Tablet PC that you cannot solve by taking the actions described, contact your local help desk or your reseller for further assistance.
System Will Not Resume Operation
If the system will not resume operation after system operation has been suspended, check the following possib le causes:
The battery may either be defective, or discharged to a critically low level. When the battery reaches a critically low level, the system is forced into Suspend-to-RAM mode to avoid a total system power failure. To correct this problem, either connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter), or install a charged battery in the T ab let PC.
The system may be at the critical thermal limit. To avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the system enters Suspend-to­RAM mode when it gets too hot. System operation cannot be resumed until the Pen Tablet PC cools off to a tolerable temperature. Move the Pen Tablet PC to a cooler locatio
n.

BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE
Thank you for purchasing a Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/21P Tablet PC with the Integrated Wireless LAN. This manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct operation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.
Characteristics of the Device
This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached to the computer via a mini-PCI slot.
The main characteristics are as follows:
It uses the power saving communications system in the 2.4 GHz band, and does not require any license for r adio communication.
and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.
To use the AdHoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. All connected computers can communicate with each other within the communication range.
Infrastructure Mode
If a number of computers are connected simultaneously in the AdHoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.
To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN network is in the Infrastructure mode when it uses an access point, and such a connection is called the
Infrastructure Network.”
It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DS-SS), which is resistant to noise.
This device complies with Wi-Fi, and is able to communicate at the maximum transf er rate of 11 Mbps.
The maximum communication range is approximately 120 feet (36.5 meters) inside a building. The range may be shorter depending upon the installation factors, such as walls and columns.
Unauthorized access can be prevented with the use of SSID and encryption key.
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device AdHoc Mode
The AdHoc Mode” refers to the network connecting two computers using wireless LAN cards. This connection is called an “AdHoc network.
Using an AdHoc network, you can obtain a network connection easily and at a low cost.
In the AdHoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File
By using an access point, you can set and use a different communication channel for each network group. Each channel is given a different radio frequency, and it eliminates the collision of communications and provides a more stable communications environment. Infrastructure mode is most suitable when you are configuring multiple wireless LAN networks on the same floor.
To connect a wireless LAN network to a wired LAN, you need an access point.
How to Handle This Device
The optional Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed in Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120P/ 21P Tablet PC computers that have been so configured. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or reinstall it. The LAN has been configured to support the operating system with which your system shipped.
The On/Off switch located on the Wireless LAN cover turns the device on and off. You should switch the device off when it is not in use in order to maximize battery life.

* 40 bit and 104 bit encryption is the wireless LAN equivalent of 64 bit and 128 bit encryption, as set by Microsoft and wireless LAN manufacturers. This is the same encryption rate that is used by the Windows XP operating system, and was selected in order to align it closer to the wireless LAN standard. For consistency, the Windows 2000 utilities reflect the same modes.
Outside of wireless LAN environments, encryption is generally set at either 64 bit or 128 bit. However, the wireless LAN standard requires that 24 bits be reserved for fixed data. As a result, the user can only use 40 bits (64 minus 24 ) or 104 bits (128 minus 24) for encryption. This requirement also fixes the number of characters used for 128 bit encryption to 13 which is calculated as (13 x 8 bits = 104).
