Setting up for communications<br />
NOTE<br />
To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or communicate<br />
across the telephone lines with another computer, you need:<br />
❖ A browser or communications program<br />
❖ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service if you plan<br />
to use the Internet<br />
❖ A way to connect to the ISP (for example modem/<br />
Wi-Fi ® /LAN, etc.)<br />
Using Wireless LAN connectivity<br />
Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to<br />
purchase additional software, external hardware or services.<br />
Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited.<br />
Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN module.<br />
This is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond<br />
networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of<br />
electronic devices without the need for cables.
