12. Network Operation
12.1. What is a Network?
We talk about a network when multiple computers are directly connected to one
another. This allows users to transfer information and data with one another and to
share their resources (printers and drives).
Here are a few concrete examples:
• In an office, messages are exchanged by email and appointments are managed
centrally.
• Users share one printer on the network and back up their data to a central
computer (server).
• Two or more computers are connected to one another to play network games or
exchange data.
12.1.1. Network Connection (RJ45)
Connect one end of a cable with a RJ45 connection (western jack) to your
Notebook’s network interface and the other to a different computer or hub/switch.
You can find more details about the network in the Windows
®
8 help.
12.2. Wi Fi (Wireless Network)
This function enables you to establish a network connection to a corresponding
remote station. Please read about the necessary requirements.
The Wi Fi function is enabled and disabled via the Windows
®
8 menu and is
activated by default.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the Wi Fi function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are sure it
will cause no interference.
12.2.1. Requirements
A so called Wi Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi Fi access point
is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your Notebook and controls
access to the connected network.
Wi Fi access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations,
universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and
networks or to the Internet.
