Dear customer
We are pleased that you have chosen a system from Fujitsu
Siemens Computers. We are sure that you will not regret this
decision.
The analysis of information and feedback provided by our
customers led us to produce this manual and to keep it constantly
updated. Our experience shows that general publications about
PCs designed for users are not always helpful in every case.
These documents cannot deal in concrete terms with the specifics
of the PC purchased. As we know the strengths of our computers
and any hidden vagaries of the system that might crop up, we are
in the best position to inform our customers of these problems.
This document was produced with the support of our valued
customers and the engineers in our company. We hope that the
assistance it provides will make it easier for you to get to know the
‘secrets’ of the world of PCs.
The development process for hardware and software in computer
technology is an ongoing one, and we aim to keep this guide
constantly updated. However, we cannot provide any guarantee of
completeness.
In terms of the explanation of installation instructions for system
settings, there are normally several options. We ask for your
understanding that we can only present one possible method in our
explanation of system settings. The illustrations are intended solely
to support understanding. They do not necessarily match the
screens on your system exactly in every case. The data for
devices, drivers and remarks in the illustrations are provided as
examples.

1 Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
Your PC complies with the relevant safety regulations for IT
equipment. Should you have any questions with regard to whether
you can use the unit where intended please contact your sales agent
or our service department.
Keep this safety information and the other documentation (such
as the quick guide, operating instructions and CD) with the unit.
When you pass on the unit to a third party, please also pass on
all the documentation.
Risk of electrocution
The unit requires a safety-tested power cable which complies
with the regulations of the country of use.
Check the cables and power plug for signs of damage on a
regular basis.
The unit may only be connected to an earthed power socket.
You may only operate the unit if its rated voltage matches the
local mains voltage.
Safe disconnection from the mains supply is only guaranteed by
removing the power plug from the mains socket. Just because
the "Power LED" is not illuminated, does not mean that the unit is
isolated. Simply switching off the PC and add-on devices is not
enough.
Risk of explosion
General warnings:
Your system is equipped with a replaceable lithium battery. It is
located on the system board. Once the battery is flat, it can be
easily exchanged (see system board manual).
Caution!
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is exchanged incorrectly
Replace only with a battery of the same type or with an
equivalent recommended by the manufacturer.
Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
2
Electromagnetic compatibility
External units, such as monitors, joysticks, etc., may only be
connected to the interface ports with screened cables to meet the
harmonised standards under electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) legislation.
You may only operate the unit if its rated voltage matches the
local mains voltage.
Information on R&TTE Directive
Fujitsu Siemens Computers hereby declares that the built-in
modem conforms to the fundamental requirements and the
relevant standards contained in the directive 1999/5/EC.
The complete original declaration of conformity for the R&TTE
Directive can be found in your PC’s electronic documentation.
Computer setup
Before you change, install or remove any components,
disconnect the mains plug and, if applicable, detach the
telephone cable from the PC (pull out the plug).
Before you open the housing, you must switch the PC off and
remove the plug from the socket. The proper operation
(according to IEC 60950/EN 60950) of the unit is only
guaranteed with a fully attached housing and covers for
installation slots ( electrical shock, cooling, fire prevention, noise
suppression).
Only authorised qualified personnel should open the unit.
Tampering with the unit will result in a loss of the right to
guarantee claims and the discontinuation of the manufacturer's
guarantee obligation to uphold the harmonised standards
according to the law regarding the electromagnetic compatibility
of units and low voltage directive.
All integrated circuits and memory modules, as well as the
contacts on all sockets and plugs, are susceptible to static
electricity. Protect these from static electricity. The effect of static
electricity, rapid transients or strong electromagnetic fields on the
unit may cause faults. When exchanging or installing a board or a
memory module, touch an earthed object or carry a ground strap
to divert any electrostatic charge from your body.
All ports are only designed for connection of safety extra-low
voltage (SELV).
Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
3
The unit can be equipped with a power output which may only be
used to connect a monitor.
Never open the power supply unit! The components (e. g. power
supply) marked with a warning (e.g. lightning) may only be
opened, removed or exchanged by authorised qualified
personnel.
If the BIOS needs to be updated, only use Fujitsu Siemens
Computers updates.
When installing additional components (e.g. hard disks) ensure
that there is adequate cooling.
Repairs
Repairs to the unit may only be carried out by authorised
qualified personnel. Unauthorised opening and incorrect repairs
may pose considerable risk to the user (risk of electric shock or
fire).
Diskettes (applies only to systems with floppy disk drives)
Keep diskettes away from magnets or other magnetic objects
(monitors also produce a magnetic field).
Damage to the diskette can lead to loss of data.
The LED on the disk drive will light up while the diskette is being
accessed. The disk drive should not be opened and the diskette
must not be removed while the LED is illuminated. This could
damage the diskette and the disk drive.
Optical drives
Use only completely perfect storage media (e.g. CD, DVD) in
your optical drive to avoid data loss, damage to the machine and
injury.
Each CD/DVD should be checked for damage such as fine
cracks, fractures or similar prior to insertion in the drive.
Note that additional adhesive changes the mechanical properties
of a CD/DVD and may lead to an imbalance.
Damaged and unbalanced CDs/DVDs may break at high drive
speeds (data loss). Under some circumstances, sharp-edged
fractures may penetrate the cover of the drive (damage to the
machine) and be thrown out of the machine (risk of injury, in
particular to exposed parts of the body such as face and neck).
Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
4
Look after the optical drive and prevent mechanical damage as
well as premature ware of the storage media by taking the
following advice:
Only insert CDs/DVDs in the drive when required and
remove them after use.
Store the CDs/DVDs in appropriate cases. Protect them
from heat and direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Clean your PC regularly. Before doing so, switch off the PC and
any peripherals, removing the plug from the socket. Use a non-
abrasive cleaning product and/or a lightly dampened cloth.
Avoid using cleaning sprays and any kind of solution containing
alcohol or other flammable liquids. Therefore do not use any
abrasive powder or cleaning agent which dissolves plastic for
cleaning.
Clean the monitor screen with a soft, lint-free dampened cloth.
Safety, precautionary and compliance instructions
5
Additional notes for proper operation
Position the unit so that there is adequate air for cooling. Never
cover the ventilation slots on the unit. This could cause
overheating and thus shorten the life of your unit.
Protect your device from very high humidity, direct sunlight as
well as high and extremely low temperatures. If the device is
brought from a cold environment into a warmer installation site,
bedewing may occur. Wait until the temperature of the device
has equalised and it is completely dry before you put it into
operation (approx. 2 to 4 hours).
The unit is not waterproof. Do not immerse it in water and protect
it from spray (rain, seawater).
Should an abnormal odour or smoke be produced and in
emergencies (e.g. damage to the housing, operating controls or
power cable, and liquid or foreign bodies entering the unit),
switch the device off immediately, remove the plug and contact
your sales agent or our hotline/Help Desk.
Do not smoke in the vicinity of the unit. Particles of ash may
settle on the monitor or inside your computer.
Do not eat over the keyboard as crumbs may cause it to
malfunction.
Ensure that the cables from the PC do not pose any risk (danger
of stumbling) and cannot be damaged.
The computer should preferably be transported in the original
packaging as it has been specially designed for the system unit.
Use a high quality double-screened cable to connect the printer.
If your system comes with a printer cable, you should use it.
The ID plate may also be located underneath the housing.
You may have to remove a securing device used during
transportation from the underside of the mouse.
When you switch off ATX and µATX systems, the system will still
be in standby mode and still be connected to the mains. You will
have to disconnect the mains plug to isolate the unit.
If the monitor is connected to the power socket on the PC power
supply unit (if available), it will not be turned off when the PC is
switched off.
If you have a monitor which supports power management, it will
also switch to standby. If the monitor does not have this function,
you must switch it off separately when you finish working with the
PC.

Guidelines and Environmental Protection
An important characteristic of our products, alongside quality and
performance, is environmental friendliness.
(I) Protection of resources with energy-saving functions
Our units generally have energy-saving modes.
(II) Device safety
The units meet the requirements of the low voltage directive
73/23/EEC including the amendment 93/68/EEC, certified in
accordance with EN 60950, and the directive on electromagnetic
compatibility 89/336/EEC including the amendment 93/68/EEC.
(III) Guarantee of electromagnetic compatibility
All data and signal cables must be provided with sufficient
shielding. The minimum requirement is a Category 5 shielded
cable for 10/100 Ethernet, or Category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet. As
described in the operating instructions, all of the housing parts
must be installed.
Requirements for work with monitors
Our units meet the requirements set for work with monitors in
accordance with the EU screen directive 90/270/EEC for the
purposes of the EU directive 89/391/EEC.
Lasers
If your system has an optical drive such as a CD-ROM, CD-RW,
DVD or combined drive, the following applies:
With closed PC housings, the optical drives used correspond to
laser class 1 in accordance with IEC 60825-1. These contain light-
emitting diodes (LED) which under some circumstances may
generate a stronger light beam than laser class 1. A direct glance
into this beam, even with protective eyewear, is dangerous and
may lead to injury. Therefore, no parts of the optical drive housing
are to be removed.

1 Guidelines
1.1 EMC directives
Abbreviation for "ElectroMagnetic Compatibility". As well as the
effects of electrical smog on human health, the effects of electronic
devices and installations on other electrical systems are also an
important aspect of many discussions today. It is not without good
reason that the standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
have recently been drastically tightened in the area of computers
and radio networks.
1.2 CE directives
CE, the abbreviation for Communauté Europenne, indicates that
the product conforms with the directives, i.e. it is the
manufacturer’s confirmation that they have complied with the
requirements collected in the EU directives, particularly the
protection requirements for the manufacture of the product.
The CE mark on a product guarantees that the product may be
brought into circulation within the EU.
Since 1996, CE conformity has been legally binding. All electrical
and electronic devices must carry the CE mark, as must all data
networks and their passive components, such as cables, hubs etc.
From 1st January 1997, companies are no longer allowed to sell a
product without the CE mark. This has created a legal framework
where manufacturers have had to introduce technical measures to
ensure that computer systems meet the required "standards on
interference emission and resistance to interference". The housing
is an important aspect of this. Even high-quality structures cannot
guarantee compliance with the directives. To compensate for
interference emissions, measures include the use of magnetic
cores, to comply with the appropriate standards. Unused drive
slots are sealed with additional slot panels.
1.3 R&TTE directive and FTE law
The purpose of the law is to control the introduction into circulation
and the operation of radio equipment and telecommunications
terminals falling under the jurisdiction of the R&TTE directive, and
2
to allow the free movement of these goods within the European
internal market.
The directive, the RTTE directive 1999/5 EC (Radio equipment and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity) has been implemented in German
law by the FTEG (Funkanlagen und Telekommunikations
Endeinrichtungs Gesetz – Radio equipment and
Telecommunications Terminal law).
The directive was published on 7.4.1999 in the EU Official Gazette
L91/1999 and was thus brought into law. The FTEG was
announced in the German Federal Law Gazette Part I, No. 6 on 7
February 2001, and came into force on 8 February 2001.
1.4 Low voltage directive
In accordance with the directive 73/23/EEC, appropriate
regulations have been binding since the seventies. In Germany,
this directive was brought into legal effect with the Device safety
law, the first prescription to the law on technical materials. Since 1st
January 1997, manufacturers have not been allowed to see
products without a CE mark.
The CE mark can be displayed if the product meets the safety
targets specified in the low voltage directive. In general, this means
meeting the technical requirements specified in a harmonised
standard. This directive is applicable for all electrical equipment
within particular voltage limits.

2 Hardware
Hardware is a very commonly used term in computer technology. It
simply refers to all the components of a PC and its peripherals
(e.g. printers, scanners etc.).
i
Our tips and hints …
... on saving energy
We recommend connecting the system and the peripherals to
a standard switchable plug strip. This makes disconnecting the
entire system from the mains easier, safer and clearer.
PC systems and peripherals that do not have a mains switch
and are connected to the mains are on "Standby" mode. Power
consumption is inevitable in this mode. In "Standby" mode the
system will maintain certain functions, e.g. wake on LAN, wake
on RING (MODEM). To isolate the system you will either have
to disconnect the mains plug or switch the system off at a plug
strip.
If you will not be using the PC for a long period of time, or if
you will not be using the wake on LAN or wake on RING
(MODEM) functions, turn off the entire system.
2.1 The motherboard
The motherboard (also called the mainboard) is the most important
component of your computer. Among other things, it contains the
CPU, the working memory and slots for additional components.
You can find important and detailed information in the appropriate
manual. This is supplied electronically on the
"Drivers & Utility" CD/DVD or in printed form.
2.2 The CPU
CPU is an abbreviation for the term Central Processing Unit. The
CPU is the actual "brain" of the computer. It is responsible for all of
4
the system’s control and calculation operations. The description of
a PC system normally specifies the processor type and its speed.
i
Our tips and hints …
... on the LGA-775 processor socket
A few systems are using a new Intel CPU.
The new LGA-775 processor socket is technically configured so
that the contact between the socket (pins) and the CPU (contact
points) can be made with adjacent contact pins.
Caution! Conventional 478pin processors may not be used. If
the current processor is to be changed to a 775pin
processor, this must be done very carefully, if possible
by technically qualified personnel.
2.3 The working memory
For the internal exchange of data, the PC requires somewhere to
temporarily store information. This is done in the working memory,
also called the main memory. The working memory can be
accessed very quickly and at any time. However, its content is lost
when the power is turned off.
2.4 Slots
The slots for expansion cards are located on the motherboard.
There are the following slots:
for modems
AMR (Audio Modem Riser)
CNR (Communication Network Riser)
for graphics cards
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) In the near future these slots
will be replaced by
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Express X16
5
for other cards, e.g. multimedia, TV card, modem, the
PCI slots are available. The trend is towards
PCI Express X1.
Slots for memory modules to equip the working memory, so-called
DIMM sockets (abbreviation for "Dual In-Line Memory Modules",
memory modules with two rows of contacts) are also components
of the motherboard. The memory banks can be equipped with the
following memory modules:
SD RAM, 168 pin (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory). This memory type synchronises itself with the
system clock, which controls the processor. This prevents
delays when accessing the memory. It works in
synchronisation with the external CPU clock.
R-DRAM (Rambus-Dynamic Random Access Memory) also
known as RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module). This
memory uses a special serial memory organisation, which was
developed by the company RAMBUS. With this principle, the
R-DRAM modules must be placed in pairs. Empty RIMM slots
have to be populated by so-called CRIMMs (Continuity RIMM).
The CRIMMs prevent an interruption in the signal lines, which
are a serial connection in a RAMBUS interface, and therefore
ensure that the direct RAMBUS channel functions correctly. If
you want to upgrade the system memory at a later date, you
can remove the CRIMMs and replace them with RIMMs.
When installing RIMMs, you must observe certain rules, in
order to achieve optimum system performance.
The RIMM slots are divided into two banks:
Bank 0 (RIMM slots 1 and 2)
Bank 1 (RIMM slots 3 and 4)
Bank 0 must always be populated first, in order to ensure that
RIMMS are installed in RIMM slots 1 and 2. The memory
configuration (speed, number of chips, size and density) of the
RIMMS installed in Bank 0 and Bank 1 must be identical.
DDR SDRAM, 184 pin (Double Data Rate Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory). This memory type uses a
technology that works with both sides (flanks) of a clock pulse
6
to process data. This means that two memory access actions
are realised per clock pulse, thereby achieving double the
transmission rate.
With some memory modules, the configuration of the memory
banks is dependent on the motherboard’s chip set. Information on
this can be found in the motherboard documentation.
Detailed information about slots and the BIOS can be found in the
documentation for the motherboard.
2.5 The graphics card
The graphics card is a hardware component of the computer,
which allows information to be processed and displayed on a
monitor.
As digital data is used inside the PC, while traditional tube monitors
only work with analog signals, the fundamental task of the graphics
card is to convert the digital information from the PC into analog
signals for the monitor.
Recently, flat-screen monitors with DVI digital input (Digital Visual
Interface) have come into use. These devices process the digital
image signal directly in the monitor.
The essential components of a graphics card are the graphics
processor, the memory, the RAMDAC (Random Access Memory
Digital Analog Converter), the internal bus and the interfaces to the
motherboard, monitor and possibly a TV.
The graphics card is inserted in a specially designed AGP
(Accelerated Graphics Port) or PCI Express X16 slot on the
motherboard. The graphics card may also be integrated on the
motherboard ("graphic on board").
For low-fatigue work on the PC, it is important from an ergonomic
point of view that the refresh rate is set correctly. Even at high
resolutions, this should not be below 85 Hz.
8
... for the memory settings of your graphics card
If the graphics card is on board, a section of the working memory is
used as a graphics card memory.
If, for applications that use a lot of memory (games etc.), it should
be necessary to expand the graphic memory, then it is possible to
change it in the BIOS. The motherboard manual describes how
you can change the memory capacity. If the process is not
described, it is not possible to adjust the graphic memory. If you
are still in any doubt, contact the Hotline.
In general 64 MB of graphic memory is the default setting.
Caution! The memory capacity set for the graphics card is
subtracted from the main memory capacity of your
system.
E.g. 256 MB (main memory) – 64 MB (graphics
memory) = 192 MB (available main memory)
... for setting the "DirectDraw" function
Problem: During a PC session you play the same, memory-
intensive 3D game. You have closed the game down properly. The
second time you run it, "the computer crashes".
You can put this right as follows:
The program "Dxdiag." with the icon can be found under
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. Double click on the icon and select the
"Display" tab. The following screen will appear:
9
Deactivate the "DirectDraw acceleration" function.
... on connecting and the settings for a second screen output
device (TV, monitor)
If your PC is equipped with a second screen connection, this is
generally located on the rear of the PC; it can be that after a driver
is reinstalled the playback screen of the second output device
(monitor or TV) may be dark. This may happen if you have
downloaded and used a new driver version from the Internet. The
standard default for the driver is only configured for one screen
output device.
If you wish to use the second output, note the following from the
user manual of the 2nd device:
Which settings and which sockets do I need to use to run the
device as a monitor for example?
What television standard is for example the TV set to?
If the user manual is no longer available, contact your dealer or a
television specialist in your area.
Now proceed as follows to use the second output device:
Switch the PC and both screen devices off. Connect the
screen devices to the PC. Turn the screen devices on, followed
11
Analog TV cards
With analog television, the picture and sound information to be
transmitted is prepared according to a modulation process and
forwarded on in wave form in a medium such as air or via a cable.
This requires an analog TV card with analog antenna input.
Digital TV cards
A digital TV card is required to receive digital programmes via the
PC. The signal is transmitted according to the standard for the
compression of TV signals, MPEG-2 (Motion Pictures Experts
Group, 2nd standard).
The digital technology packs the data as binary code in data
packets which are then decoded again by the receiver. This
decoding is carried out by the DVB card in the PC.
There are three options for receiving digital television
DVB-C (Digital Video Broadcast-Cable) reception via cable
DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial) reception via
antenna
DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcast-Satellite) reception via satellite
The reception quality is much better with DVB cards. As the digital
programmes are transmitted in MPEG-2 format, the TV programme
can also be processed directly on your PC hard disk.
A further difference is in the decoding of the MPEG stream.
Differentiation is made between TV cards with hardware MPEG
and TV cards with software MPEG.
With hardware MPEG, the processing power is undertaken by
a chip on the TV card. This means that there is practically no
involvement of the PC’s CPU. The majority of the CPU’s
processing power remains available for other applications.
With software MPEG, the CPU is responsible for the
processing power. Under some circumstances this may lead to
the CPU being noticeably overloaded.
12
i
Our tips and hints …
... on DVB-C reception via cable
Find out from your cable provider which programs you can receive
digitally.
... on DVB-T reception via antenna
This reception option is one of the most modern signal
transmission technologies for TV reception and is still not available
everywhere. Find out from your dealer or via the Internet whether
you have the option of using DVB-T television.
... on retrofitting
Before considering retrofitting, you must decide how you would like
to predominantly use your PC.

2.7 The soundcard
It is no longer possible to imagine many applications without
sound, e.g. DVD films, TV, games, Internet radio etc.
Soundcards convert digital signals into analog signals that can be
processed by speakers or amplifiers (DA converter). When
recording, e.g. with a microphone, analog signals are converted
into digital signals (AD converter).
The most important components of the soundcard are: Synthesiser
(sound generator), AD/DA converter (Analog Digital / Digital
Analog converter) for recording and playing back sounds.
Connections for headphones or speakers and a microphone are
integrated.
By default the output signal for sound playback is an analog
signal at the corresponding connection socket. In some
configurations, it is also possible to use the sound signal as a
digital signal. The SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace)
connection is available for this purpose.
There are two options for processing and playing back sound on
our PC systems:
using a soundcard
Sound on Board
Sound processing and playback using a soundcard
The soundcard is inserted into one of the PCI slots. In this
variation, the original manufacturer’s CD is normally supplied. This
CD contains the necessary drivers, programs and documentation.
Caution! If it is necessary to restore your system, you should
install the drivers and programs from the CD
accompanying the soundcard, as described in the
"System recovery" manual supplied.
15
With this audio standard, the majority of the processing work is
assigned to the main processor. It is responsible for synthesiser
functions and mixes the digital data. The audio data is then
converted and sent to a Codec. This then converts the data into
audio signals.
In the recording direction, the Codec digitises the data and the
processor is then responsible for converting the data into
appropriate file formats and sampling rates. In the analog section,
Codecs are also responsible for the mixing of other inputs and
outputs such as those for the PC speakers, the microphone or the
CD player.
"Sound on Board" and SPDIF.
If sound is "on board", consult the motherboard description to
find out whether a connection for SPDIF is available on the
board. If you want to use this signal, you will need a speaker
system with a decoder that can process digital signals. Make
sure you follow the operating instructions for the decoder.
Using the multi-channel audio function (optional)
If your motherboard is equipped with an appropriate Codec
chip, you can use the multi-channel audio function. In general,
the drivers for the Codec chip are linked to a program, which
allows you to make the appropriate settings. If this function is
available, you will find the corresponding manufacturer’s
information in the motherboard documentation.
17
... Example of the HDA setting
When you use an audio socket, the menu for the "Realtek" player
automatically appears with the associated "Audio Wizard". The
socket in use flashes.
Fig.1: Front of the PC Fig. 2: Rear of the PC
The appropriate socket can be configured here.

Fig. 4
Here you can select the audio
equipment which you have
connected to the front of the PC.
Here you can select the audio
equipment which you have
connected to the rear of the PC.
Should a socket be incorrectly used, the system will direct you to
the right socket using an animated arrow (see fig. 5).

Fig. 5
... for testing the microphone connection
Some system configurations are supplied with an activated front
microphone connection as standard.
If the microphone connection is not working, you should check
whether the microphone connection is activated.
Right click on the "Speaker icon" in the "Task bar".
Click on "Adjust audio properties". "Sound and audio
equipment properties" appears.
"Recording control" appears under "Voice""Voice
recording""Volume". Check whether the microphone is
activated.
Close "Recording control" and click on "Test hardware".
Follow the instructions for the test.
... for changing the microphone connection from a front
microphone connection to a microphone connection on the
back of the PC
If you want to make use of the option of using the microphone on
the rear of the PC, the procedure is as follows:
Double click on the "Speaker icon" in the "Task bar".
In "Playback control" / "Volume control", click on "Options".
Activate "Advanced controls". Click on "Properties" in this
window. Select "Recording" and confirm with "OK".
Under "Microphone", go to "Advanced". "Advanced controls
for microphone" appears. In this window, deactivate "Mic 2
19
Select" or "Alternative microphone" and close the open
window.
This setting activates the microphone connection on the rear of the
PC. (if necessary test as above)
2.8 Modem and ISDN card
MODEM
Modem is an abbreviation for "MODulator/DEModulator". The
modem is a remote data transmission device, which
establishes a connection to a remote station,
converts (modulates) signals coming from the computer into
sounds,
sends these to the remote station,
and, used on the other end of the line, reconverts
(demodulates) the sounds received into machine-recognisable
signals.
There are countless standards – protocols – for modems to ensure
that they can communicate with one another. These standards are
defined by the CCITT (Comité Consultatif International
Télégraphique et Téléphonique).
The most recent analog modem standard V.92 was confirmed by
the ITU (International Telecommunication Union). Downstream
communication is unchanged at 56 kbit/s. The three most
important improvements compared to the V.90 standard that is
widely used today are:
Upload at up to 48 kbit/s possible (only 33 kbit/s with V.90)
Faster connection setup
Supports the "modem on hold" function. This means that
when you receive a telephone call while online, you will be
notified. The modem function will be "parked" and you will be
able to return to your Internet function once you have
completed your phone conversation.
If you want to use this standard and your modem is compatible
with this standard, then find out from your provider whether they
support V.92.

i
Our tips and hints …
... for setting the country code
When dialling country and area codes, WindowsXP uses the
settings that are entered under "Telephony" in the Control Panel.
After installation of Windows a country, e.g. "United Kingdom", may
already be entered under Location/Country. This may lead to
wrong numbers being dialled when using the modem. Before using
your modem for the first time, you should therefore change this
setting to the country in which you are running the PC and by
entering the appropriate number under "Area code".
For example, for the United Kingdom, the procedure is as follows:
Open "Start" / "Control Panel" / "Printers and other
hardware" / "Telephone and modem options".
Select the "Dialling rules" tab, by double clicking on "New
location" under Location. "Edit location" appears.
Under "Country/Region" select "United Kingdom" and enter
your local area code under "Area code", then click on "Apply"
and confirm with "OK".
ISDN
ISDN is the abbreviation for Integrated Services Digital Network.
ISDN cards are used to establish a data connection between any
two compatible terminals. In contrast to a modem, these terminals
(ISDN cards) work on an exclusively digital basis (no
modulation/demodulation). Data transmission takes place on two
channels, each at 64kbit/s. These channels are known as B
channels. A further channel known as the D channel is responsible
for the exchange of control signals for the transmission terminals.
21
2.9 Wireless LAN (WLAN)
WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network, i.e. a cable-free
network. The IEEE standard 802.11(Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers) for wireless LANs (WLANs) offers two
configuration methods for wireless networks, the ad-hoc mode and
the infrastructure mode.
Ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer work group)
In an ad-hoc network, individual computers are connected to each
other as required. In other words, there is no fixed structure or
fixed points in the network. As a rule, any node may communicate
with any other node. In this configuration there is no AccessPoint.
This enables a small WLAN work group may be quickly
established. The individual members of the group can exchange
data with each other and share printers, as permitted by the
Microsoft network functions of the various Windows operating
systems. A few providers also refer to an ad-hoc network as a
peer-to-peer network. In this configuration, data packets are
transmitted directly from a transmitting to the corresponding
receiving station. Insofar as the individual stations are located
within its respective range, this is the most simple and least costly
method of establishing a WLAN.
22
Infrastructure mode (AccessPoint)
With a wireless AccessPoint your can operate a WLAN in the
infrastructure mode. You may then connect a wireless connection
to several wireless devices within a specified area or the range of
the AccessPoint. Communication with the wireless nodes is via an
antenna. In infrastructure mode, the wireless AccessPoint converts
the data transmitted in the form of radio waves into Ethernet data
and thereby forms the bridge between the individual wireless
clients and the wired LAN. By connecting several AccessPoints via
an Ethernet backbone, the range of a wireless network can be
expanded. If a mobile device falls outside the range of an
AccessPoint, it falls within the range of another. This means that
wireless clients can be moved freely from the domain of one
AccessPoint to the next, thereby maintaining a wireless connection
to the network.

i
Our tips and hints …
... on establishing WLANs
Checking the hardware and drivers
Switch your WLAN adapter on. The operating instructions for your
device will tell you where to activate the WLAN function.
Proceed as follows:
Click on "Start" > "Control Panel" > "Performance and
Maintenance" > "System" > "Hardware" > "Device manager".
Double click on Network adapter.
Caution! The name of the WLAN adapter may differ from
device to device.
Should a yellow exclamation mark or a red cross appear against
the listed WLAN adapter, there is a resource conflict or an incorrect
configuration.
24
When you double click on the WLAN adapter, you will see its
properties such as manufacturer, driver version and date as well as
resource settings.
... for configuring a WLAN connection
1. Click on "Start" > "Connect with" > "Wireless network
connection". The following window will appear.
Should there be another WLAN device in range, this will be
displayed in the list of "available wireless networks" as
shown here in the example. The displayed name
"CONNECT2AIR" represents the device’s SSID. This may be
anything.
2. To connect with this network, activate the function: "Facilitate
connection with wireless network even when the network
is not secure" and click on "Connect". The connection will
then be established to the existing network.
Should the list be empty, then no WLAN device was found in
the vicinity or the other device was configured as "hidden".
3. Click on "Advanced…". The following appears:
25
4. Activate the function "Use Windows to configure the
settings". Click on "Add“. The following appears:
26
5. Enter the SSID in the "Network name (SSID)" field of the
device to which the connection is to be established. The
network names (SSID) can be obtained from the operator of
the receiver.
If the connection requires data encoding, activate the function
"Data encoding" and enter the required key in the "Network
key" field.
6. Click on "OK".
To connect two WLAN devices with each other in ad-hoc mode,
execute the specified steps for both devices and enter the same
SSID in this window. Activate the function "This is a computer-to-
computer network; wireless access points are not used". Click
on "OK".
This display will appear in the task bar next to the clock after
successful connection:
The signal strength displayed may vary due to external influences.
If you double click on the active connection (both screens in the
task bar), a window containing status information will appear. This
may differ depending on the network setup.
