Energy Star
The notebook from Fujits u Siemens Computers is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 8 W when i t goes into standby/ suspend
mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this l evel of
power management, the notebook qual i fies for the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that comput er equipment uses 5 % percent of all bus iness electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desk top PCs and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use,
the overall savings in elect ric ity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These s av i ngs could also
prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5
million automobiles.

Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard
The wireless LAN network card operates in a ccordance with the IEEE 802.11 s tandard. The 2.4
GHz ISM frequency band i s used as a communic ations medium. The wireles s networks operating in
accordance with 802.11 can easily be connect ed t o existing Ethernet net works. With the exc eption
of a few additional paramet ers, wireless network cards that operate in acc ordance with 802.11 are
one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols via a 802.11
wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference
is that you need not l ay cables between the computers. The number of all wireless LAN stations t hat
can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard of fers two
operating modes - the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the infrastruct ure m ode.
46 A26391-K136-Z120-2-7619
Page 57
Working with the notebook
Adhoc mode
A wireless LAN in t he adhoc mode, also called peer-t o-peer mode, consists of a single closed cel l .
Adhoc wireless net works result when a workgroup co m es together with its systems and would like to
interconnect these for data exchange. Any num ber of systems can be added to this type of network
and can leave it again.
So that several adhoc wireless networks do not interfere with each other i n radi o traffic, there is a
unique network name, the SSID (Service Set I dentifier). The SSID is used for addressing so that a
data packet can always be assigned to a cert ain cell.
If you want to join an existing cell, you require the network name (SSID), which you enter in the
settings for the network card. The driver s earches for a wireless net work with this ID during start-up.
When the driver has found a wireless network, it c onnects to it and you can communicate wit h the
systems in this wireless network. If two cells are very close together, the channels of these networks
should be 4 to 5 channels apart .
Infrastructure mode
In the infrastruc ture mode, a base station, referred to as an AccessPoint, exists in addition to t he
mobile stations . In the infrastructure mode the Access Point assumes the function of a "guard". I n
contrast to the adhoc mode, each system must log on to the AccessPoint before it is allowed to
exchange data in the cel l .
Another task of the AccessPoi nt is the connection of the cells with a c abl e-connected Ethernet. A s
due to the logon requirement, t he AccessPoint knows at all times exactly which s t ations are on the
radio side, it can decide exactly which data must be sent to i t and which don't. This process is also
referred to as bridging.
The range of a wireless network can be increased with sev eral A ccessPoints. The AccessP oints
have the same SSI D for this purpose. When a system enters the wireless net, it searches among
the reachable AccessPoints for the one wi th the strongest si gnal and l ogs 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 af ter the
logon, it can detec t how the signals from an Ac cessPoint becom e weaker and those of another
become stronger, and can then log on to the stronger one without the user noticing. This procedure
is referred to as roaming.
