3 Connecting to a network

Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe

and access information from millions of websites using your computer and a wired or wireless

network connection. This chapter will help you get connected to that world.

Connecting to a wireless network

Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your computer may be

equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:

● Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the computer to wireless local area

networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate

offices, your home, and public places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and

universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your computer communicates with a

wireless router or a wireless access point.

● Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-

enabled devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a

PAN, each device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively

close together—typically within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.

For more information about wireless technology, see the information and website links provided in

Help.

Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:

●

Wireless button, wireless switch, or wireless key (referred to in this chapter as the wireless

button)

● Linux Network Manager software

● Operating system controls

Using the wireless button

The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights,

depending on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so

the wireless light is on (white) when you turn on the computer.

The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of

individual devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light

is off, all wireless devices are off.

NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.

Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or

turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through

Linux Network Manager.
