Operation Manual

Notice of Security with Wireless Devices

Wireless LAN provides data transfer by means of electric waves instead of LAN cables between communicating devices such as personal computers and a wireless LAN station. Wireless LAN has an advantage of simple and ubiquitous LAN connection in the ranges where electric waves are available. Since electric waves can penetrate through walls and reach everywhere, wireless LAN without proper security settings includes some security threats and can produce the situations mentioned below.

• Eavesdropping

Malicious third parties can intercept the transmission and monitor your mail to steal personal information such as an identification number, password, and credit card number.

• Intruding

Malicious third parties can connect to a personal or office network without authorization and illegally perform the following:

• Obtaining access to confidential customer records or sensitive corporate

information (Information leakage)

• Faking the original information (Spoofing)

• Altering the original data and transmitting (Falsification)

• Spreading computer viruses resulting in the destruction of data or systems

(Destruction)

Although wireless LAN cards and wireless LAN stations (Access Points) have security measures against the threats above, no security settings may have been configured at the time of your purchase. All security features must be configured according to reference manuals of the wireless LAN devices, which results in reducing vulnerability to the attacks described above. Use the wireless devices with a clear understanding that wireless LAN includes vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to simply bypass security features. Security measures are important for all users to understand for the safe use of wireless LAN. SHARP encourages all users to configure the security settings with their own judgment and responsibility.

Basic Operations

Using the Touchpad

The computer is equipped with an integrated touchpad pointing device. Using the touchpad, you can move the pointer, select an item from a menu, and perform other tasks in the same way you would with a mouse.

Pointer

Touchpad

• Do not hit or scratch the surface of the touchpad with pointed objects (such as a ballpoint pen). It may damage the surface of the touchpad.

• Do not operate the touchpad with a moist finger. This may cause the touchpad to operate incorrectly and to be damaged.

Using the Touchpad

Take a moment to become familiar with how the touchpad works.

Place Your Fingertip

Place your left or right hand next to the touchpad, resting your wrist naturally in a relaxed manner. Place your thumb or finger on the touchpad.

Move Your Fingertip

The rectangular pad of the touchpad is used to move the pointer around the display. As you slide your fingertip across the pad, the pointer on the screen moves in the same direction across the screen. The touchpad is very sensitive, so you do not have to exert much pressure on the pad. The touchpad will respond to a light touch from your fingertip.

1-6

Operation Manual

Click, Double-click, and Right-click

To click or double-click, you can use the left button just like that of a mouse. Instead of clicking the left button, you can also just tap gently anywhere on the rectangular pad. For right-clicking, you must use the right button.

If the interval between clicks is too long, the double-clicking will not work.

Drag and Drop

You can move items by using the “drag and drop” method described below:

1. Position the pointer over the item you wish to move.

2. Press the left button; do not release it.

3. Move the pointer while holding the left button. The item moves together with the pointer.

4. Release the button when the item reaches its destination.

Or you can tap the pad twice and hold it instead of pressing the left button in the step 2.

Scroll

You can scroll through information in a list or in a document by using the touchpad. To view information vertically, place your finger on the most right part of the touchpad and slide your finger up and down. To view horizontally, place your finger on the bottom part of the touchpad and slide your finger to the left or the right. This procedure works only in limited applications.

Changing the Configuration

In the Mouse Properties dialog box, you can change the configuration of the touchpad, such as swapping left and right buttons, changing the pointer size, etc. Double-click the

icon on the taskbar.

The APM button provides the following items of which the setting levels are changeable: CPU performance, screen brightness, wireless LAN, optical drive, time before turning off monitor, time before turning off hard disk, time before entering system standby mode, time before entering system hibernation mode, wallpaper, LCD refresh rate, and audio sound.

Refer to the table of the Available APM Button Setting Levels on page 2-12 for details of the setting items and their available setting levels.

About System Standby/Hibernate

System standby/hibernate is a very useful power management tool. For example, after the computer has entered a system standby mode, you can restart the computer more quickly when compared to restarting after a normal shutdown operation. When the computer resumes from a system standby or hibernation mode, the system restores the exact last state of the computer. In Windows, the System standby and System hibernate are defined as following:

• System standby stores the current condition of the computer in RAM and stops

power supply to all but a few essential components. In a standby mode, the power indicator blinks green. To resume from the standby, press any key.

• System hibernate saves the current condition of the computer in part of the hard

disk and turns off the computer. In a hibernation mode, the power indicator is off. To resume from the hibernation, press the power button.

• Before the computer enters a standby or hibernation mode, finish

communications, printing, and playing music or video.

• Do not operate the computer or peripheral devices and connect or

disconnect peripheral devices, while the computer is entering or

resuming from a standby or hibernation mode.

• Save your data before the computer enters a standby mode. If the

power supply to the computer is stopped, the RAM contents will be lost.

Select your user account if Windows requires when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.

Wireless LAN Modes

There are two kinds of wireless LAN modes: Infrastructure mode and Ad Hoc mode.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network in which wireless devices communicate with each other through an access point (AP). Wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network through AP.

To Internet

ADSL modem,

Ad Hoc Mode

Ad Hoc mode refers to a type of network that consists of multiple computers each equipped with a wireless networking interface. Each computer can communicate directly with other wireless enabled computers.

Security Measures

Since wireless LANs provide data transfer using electric waves instead of LAN cables between communicating devices, a third party can illegally access to and monitor the transmitted information. The following security measures reduce opportunities to receive the threats. Use a combination of the following measures for more secure communications.

4-8

Operation Manual

See the Notice of Security with Wireless Devices section on page xv.

Authentication

The following may help you to protect your important data from illegal access.

• SSID (Service Set Identifier)

“SSID” is a common network name. An SSID acts as a password that is shared with all connecting wireless devices, resulting in preventing access by any device that does not have the SSID. Set a same SSID on the computer and an access point which you are using. To enhance the security, rely on a combination of the SSID and WEP or WPA security. (For details on configuration of the access point, refer to its manual.)

• MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering

MAC addresses are unique addresses on the network, which are assigned to the computer’s network interface cards. An access point allows access by only devices if their MAC addresses match the addresses in an authentication list used by the access point. Register your MAC address with the access point which you are using. (For more information, refer to the manual of the access point.)

To confirm the MAC address of the computer;

1. Click start – All Programs – Accessories – Command Prompt.

2. Type ipconfig/all and press Enter.

3. Confirm the numbers of Physical Address in the Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection field.

4. Type exit and press Enter.

• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)

The computer supports WPA, a wireless LAN security standard increasing the level of data protection and access control compared to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. To use the WPA security, a WPA-enabled access point is required. To implement user authentication, one of the security enhancements of WPA, an authentication server is needed. For details on WPA features, consult your network administrator or the manual of the access point which you are using.

4-9

Communication Functions

Encryption

The computer provides the following encryption mechanisms including: TKIP, AES, and WEP. The three techniques allow you to encrypt data to be transmitted, which will make illegal interception more difficult.

• To use the WEP functions, your communication partner must support the functions.

• To utilize TKIP, the access point which you are using must support TKIP.

• To utilize AES, the access point which you are using must support AES.

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WEP relies on an encryption key that is shared between a wireless device and an access point. The key is used to encrypt data and decrypt the transmitted data.

• The computer supports 128-bit and 64-bit WEP keys.

• For enhancement of security, the encryption keys should be periodically changed.

• TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

TKIP provides an improved data encryption, which was weak in WEP. The TKIP encryption automatically generates a new unique encryption key periodically for each device to avoid the same key staying in use for weeks as they do with WEP.

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

AES is a stronger form of encryption than is found in the WPA protocol and is the security standard approved by US Government organizations.
