3. Connecting Peripherals
CHAPTER 3
Connecting Peripherals
This chapter describes how to connect your computer to peripheral devices using the input/output ports on the back and side of the LCD PC unit. To ensure correct operation, follow the instructions in this chapter and always read the instructions provided with the peripheral device.
3-1
3. Connecting Peripherals
You can connect and use the peripheral devices shown in the overview on the following page. As these devices are manufactured by a third-party, it is a good idea to verify that they operate correctly when connected to your LCD PC before you purchase them. Your computer vendor can probably recommend reliable brands that are compatible with your system. Be sure to turn off the computer and the peripheral device before connecting them (except when connecting USB devices or inserting PC cards). Some devices have to be turned on after the computer is turned on. Some devices require special drivers or other software before they operate correctly.
Connecting Peripheral Guidelines 1. Turn off the computer and the peripheral device (except when connecting a USB device). 2. Connect the cable from the peripheral device into the appropriate I/O port on the computer. If the cable has locking screws, tighten them. 3. Turn on the peripheral device and then turn on the computer. For information on using the modem and telephone jacks, the network jack and the infrared port, see the following chapter, Chapter 4 Communication Functions.

4. Communication Functions
CHAPTER 4
Communication Functions
Your computer has four important features that let you establish communications with other computers and devices. The infrared port lets you establish wireless communication with other infrared devices that are at close range. The built-in modem lets you connect to the telephone system so that you can communicate with the whole world through the internet, e-mail, etc. The built-in network adapter lets you join your LCD PC to a local network for sharing data. The optional wireless keyboard and mouse allow a greater range motion for the user.
4-1
4. Communication Functions
You can use the built-in modem for data transfer, fax communication, and voice communication. You can also use it to establish a dial-up connection to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider. The built-in modem on your computer is designed for regular analog telephone lines. The modem may be damaged if it is connected to a digital ISDN terminal or a digital PBX. If an unusual device is attached to the line you are connecting to, the modem may not function properly. Remove the device or contact the dealer of the device. Before connecting to a PBX, consult the PBX maintenance staff or its service company. If the electric characteristics of your PBX are different from those of a regular analog line, the modem will not function properly. If you connect the modem to a digital PBX, both the modem and the PBX may be damaged.
