To start a search for devices, in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and then, from the Bluetooth menu, select Search for Devices. NOTE: The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active. 2.5.1 Periodic Search for Devices Bluetooth can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab). One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility that the wireless connections allow. However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the time between the automatic updates performed by Bluetooth. To be certain that the displayed list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique described in Search for Devices, above. Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found because:
Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Discovery tab, on your device). 2.6 The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the un-listed device). FIND A SERVICE The process of determining the services that a device provides is called Service Discovery. To initiate a Service DiscoveryIn the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a device name and select Discover Available Services from the shortcut menu. Bluetooth services are those things that this computer can do for remote Bluetooth devices. For example, if this computer allows a remote Bluetooth device to send a fax using a fax modem that is physically attached to this computer, then this computer is providing the Bluetooth fax service. Some services are hardware dependant; this computer cannot provide the fax service unless it has a physical fax modem, for example. Some Bluetooth services use virtual hardware. The Bluetooth Serial Port service, for example, does not use a physical port on this computer. Instead, it creates virtual serial ports that Windows applications can see and use as if they were actual physical ports. Each Bluetooth service that this computer is capable of providing can be started automatically when Bluetooth starts. Each service can be set up to require security measures before allowing a remote Bluetooth device to connect. WIDCOMMinc 6 BTW Users Guide Bluetooth services require a Bluetooth application on the remote device; services and applications usually have coinciding names; i.e., there is a Bluetooth Fax Service and a Bluetooth Fax Application. The services supported by Bluetooth are:
Bluetooth Serial PortA wireless connection between two devices. This connection can be used by applications as though a physical serial cable connected the devices. Dial-up NetworkingAllows a device to use a modem that is physically attached to another Bluetooth device. FaxAllows a device to send a fax using a remote Bluetooth cell phone, modem, or computer. File TransferAllows a device to perform file system operations on another Bluetooth device; browse, open, copy, etc. HeadsetAllows a Bluetooth headset to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for another Bluetooth device, such as a computer or cell phone. PIM Item TransferAllows two Bluetooth devices to exchange Personal Information Manager data such as business cards, calendar items, email messages, and notes. PIM SynchronizationAllows two Bluetooth devices to synchronize Personal Information Manager data. Network AccessAllows a device to access a Local Area Network via a second Bluetooth device that is physically connected to the network or allows a remote device to become part of an ad hoc network provided by the Bluetooth server. Audio GatewayAllows the microphone/speakers on Bluetooth device
(typically a computer) to be used as the audio input/output mechanism for a remote Bluetooth device, such as a cell phone. All Bluetooth servers do not necessarily provide all of these services.

For example, the HID Application allows this computer to use a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse. Create a Bluetooth HID connection NOTE: Some HIDs have multiple modes. Before establishing a connection, be sure the HID is in the desired mode. For example, in the case of an HID that can function as both a mouse and a laser pointer, be sure the mode switch is set to Mouse before attempting to connect. Open a connection to a Bluetooth Human Interface Device using one of these techniques:
From My Bluetooth Places Using the Bluetooth Setup Wizard Once an HID connection is established, that connection will persist. If the computer is shut down, when the computer is turned on again the connection will re-establish automatically. NOTE: HIDs usually have a button, which is sometimes difficult to find, that must be pressed before other Bluetooth devices can locate the HID. Even after the button is pressed, the HID can only be discovered for a limited time, and then the button must be pressed again. The time period can be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 180 seconds. Read the documentation that accompanies the HID before you attempt to connect to the device. Close an HID connection Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to close an HID connection; once established the connection is maintained automatically, even during the power off and power on processes. If, for some reason, the connection must be closed: from My Bluetooth Places, right-click the service name and select Disconnect. When an HID connection is closed manually by the operator, the connections
persistence is broken. The connection must be re-established manually, after which the connection will again persist until broken manually. Configure No configuration is necessary.

Service NameThe default name of each service can be changed. Secure ConnectionRequires that remote devices provide proof of identity and that all data be encrypted. Startup AutomaticallyStarts the service automatically when Bluetooth is started. NotificationsProvides visual and/or audio notification that a remote device is attempting to connect (or has connected) to a service on this computer. 3.6.1 Notifications Overview There are three types of notification:
Authentication request, also called a PIN code requestThis notification appears automatically in a balloon over the Windows system tray if a Personal Identification Code is required before a connection can proceed. An audio file can also be associated with the notification. Authorization request, also called a connection requestThis type of notification can be visual, audio, or both. It notifies you of attempts to access a Bluetooth service on this computer; the connection will not proceed until you click the balloon that appears over the Windows system tray. If the notification balloon is ignored, the connection request will time out and fail. Notification onlyThis type of notification does not effect access in any way; it is solely for information purposes to let you know that a connection has been established. WIDCOMMinc 21 BTW Users Guide Example Both Authentication and Authorization request notifications are controlled by whether Secure Connection is enabled for an individual service. The following list is an example of how notifications might work when a remote device attempts to access a service on this computer, if all notifications are enabled:
1. AuthenticationA balloon notification (audio optional) appears to prompt for a PIN code. If the PIN code does not match the code entered on the remote device, the connection will not be allowed. Once the remote device has been authenticated this notification will not appear again, unless the paired relationship is broken and the devices must re-pair. 2. AuthorizationA balloon notification appears and/or a sound file provides audio notification that a remote device is attempting to access a Bluetooth service on this computer. Click the balloon to proceed. A dialog box appears that offers the option of letting the connection proceed this time only or to always allow this particular remote device to use the service it is attempting to access. 3. Once a connection has been authorized, an additional visual and/or audio notification may appear (if enabled). This notification is for information only to inform the operator that a connection has been established. After two devices are paired (step 1, above), the authentication notification will no longer appear when a connection is attempted. If Always allow is enabled during the authorization process (step 2, above), the authorization notification will not appear on future connection attempts. Connection notification (step 3, above) only happens if it has been enabled on the Notifications tab of the individual service being accessed. Service Access Notification
Notifications lets you associate a sound (Windows *.wav file) and/or a visual indication with access attempts by remote devices. A different notification sound can be associated with each local Bluetooth service. Associate a sound with service access From the Bluetooth Configuration Panel, Local Services tab:
1. Double-click a service name and then select the Notifications tab. 2. Check the desired options; visual and sound may both be selected for a single event. 3.

Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown procedures are provided later in the chapter. Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that can be initiated by you or by the system. Standby Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use. When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution. When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light flashes. When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off. Hibernation Hibernation saves system memory to the hard drive, takes a snapshot of the notebook image, then shuts down the notebook. When you resume from Hibernation, your work returns to the screen exactly as you left it. The following information may be useful as you manage Hibernation:
Saving your work before initiating Hibernation is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution. 42 Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 HP-323140-001.book Page 3 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or turned off, press the power button:
If the notebook is in Hibernation, your work returns to the screen. If the notebook is off, Windows loads. Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition, disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration. To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable Hibernation check box is selected. CAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the notebook is in Hibernation:
Do not add or remove a memory module. Do not connect or disconnect an external device. Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC. Shutdown Shutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how you work:
Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to external power and also protects your work during a power outage. A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry location. Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 43 HP-323140-001.book Page 4 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power Choosing Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown If you plan to resume shortly: Initiate Standby for shorter times and Hibernation for longer times or power conservation. The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration and the condition of the battery pack. Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours. Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Hibernation for several weeks. If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Shut down the notebook. If possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged. If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks: To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut down the notebook. Remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry location. If an external power supply is uncertain, for example, because of an electrical storm, save your work, then initiate Hibernation or shut down the notebook. 44 Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 HP-323140-001.book Page 5 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power Using Standby, Hibernation and Shutdown Procedures This section explains the default Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown procedures and includes information about turning the display on or off.

To conserve the charge in an inserted battery pack, the notebook runs on external power whenever external power is available. External power can be supplied from an electrical outlet through an AC adapter or an optional DC cable. If the notebook contains a charged battery pack and is running on external power, the notebook switches to battery power only if the AC adapter or DC cable is disconnected from the notebook. The Power Meter icon in the system tray changes shape whenever the power source changes between battery power and external power. Charging a Battery Pack The battery pack charges whenever the notebook is connected to external power through an AC adapter or an optional DC cable. The battery pack charges whether the notebook is turned off or turned on, but charges most quickly when the notebook is turned off. When the notebook is turned on, charging times are longer and vary with system activity. The battery light displays charge status:
On and amber: the battery pack is charging. On and green: the battery pack is fully charged. Flashing: the battery pack is malfunctioning and may need to be replaced. Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 411 HP-323140-001.book Page 12 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power Monitoring the Charge in a Battery Pack Obtaining Accurate Charge Information To increase the accuracy of all battery charge displays:
Allow the battery pack to discharge to less than 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it. Charge the battery pack fully. Even a new battery pack can display charge information inaccurately if it has not been fully charged. If a battery pack has not been used for one month or more, the battery pack may need to be calibrated. Displaying Charge Information To display battery charge information on the screen, use the operating system Power Meter feature. To access Power Meter displays, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance icon > Power Options icon > Power Meter tab. Power Meter displays battery status in both percent and time:
The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack. The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease if you start playing a DVD and will increase if you stop playing a DVD. 412 Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 HP-323140-001.book Page 13 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power Managing Low-Battery Conditions The information in this section describes default alerts and system responses. Identifying Low-Battery Conditions When the battery pack is the only power source for the notebook and drops to 10 percent of a full charge, the notebook has reached a low-battery condition. A text warning message appears on the screen. If a low-battery condition is not resolved and the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack continues to drop, the notebook eventually enters a critical low-battery condition. Then, if the notebook is on or in Standby:
If Hibernation is enabled, the system initiates Hibernation. Unsaved work may be lost. If Hibernation is disabled, the notebook remains briefly in Standby, then shuts down. The power/standby light turns off, and the notebook cannot save system memory to the hard drive. Resolving Low-Battery Conditions CAUTION: If the notebook has reached a critical low-battery condition and has begun to initiate Hibernation, do not restore power until Hibernation is complete. When Hibernation is complete, the power/standby light turns off. If external power is available, connect the notebook to the external power source. If a charged battery pack is available, shut down the notebook or initiate Hibernation. Insert a charged battery pack, then turn on the notebook. If no power source is available, save your work. Then initiate Hibernation or shut down the notebook. Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 413 HP-323140-001.book Page 14 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Power Calibrating a Battery Pack When to Calibrate Even if a battery pack is heavily used, it should not be necessary to calibrate it more than once a month. It is not necessary to calibrate a new battery pack before first use. Calibrate the battery pack under the following conditions:
When battery charge displays seem inaccurate. When you observe a significant change in battery run time. When the battery pack has not been used for one month or more. How to Calibrate To calibrate a battery pack, you must fully charge, fully discharge, then fully recharge the battery pack.

A hard drive is sometimes called a hard disk drive. Diskette drives support diskettes, which are used to store or transport data. The notebook can read or write to any diskette. A diskette drive is sometimes called a floppy disk drive. Optical drives include CD and DVD drives. Optical drives support CDs and DVDs, often called discs, which are used to store or transport data and to play music and movies. DVDs have higher capacities than CDs. The notebook can read or write to optical drives as described in the following table. Optical Drive CD-ROM drive DVD-ROM drive CD-RW drive DVD/CD-RW drive Read Write Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Yes Yes A drive designation is a letter of the alphabet that the notebook uses to identify the drive. To display the drive designation of all the drives in the system, select Start > My Computer. A diskette or disc that can be inserted or removed from a drive is referred to as a drive medium. For example, the term drive media includes diskettes, CDs, and DVDs. 52 Startup and Reference GuidePart 2 HP-323140-001.book Page 3 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM Drives and Drive Media Caring for Drives and Drive Media CAUTION: To prevent damage to the notebook or a drive and loss of work:
Do not remove the internal hard drive except for repair or replacement. For instructions, see theReplacing the Internal Hard Drive section later in this chapter. Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive, follow these 2 precautions: (1) Discharge yourself from static electricity before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object and
(2) Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer on the Documentation Library CD to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide, Electrostatic Discharge section. Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a drive, use only enough force to seat the drive. Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it. Avoid exposing a hard drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic fields. Products with magnetic fields include video and audio tape erasure products, monitors, and speakers. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a hard drive or a diskette. Do not spray a drive with cleaners. Avoid exposing a drive to liquids or temperature extremes. If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the package FRAGILE. CAUTION: To prevent damage to drive media:
Do not open the metal shutter of a diskette or touch the disk within the diskette case. Do not expose a diskette to a strong magnetic field, such as the security field used by a walk-through security device or a handheld security wand. Clean a CD or DVD only with a disc cleaning kit, available from most electronics retailers.

Introduction: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual Back to Contents Introduction: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual The Company 54g WLAN Solution Using the Company 54g WLAN Features and Requirements The Company 54g WLAN Solution The Company 54g WLAN solution accesses wireless local area networks (LANs), enables the sharing of a local printer and files with others in the network, accesses the Internet, and enables roaming about the officewire-free. This wireless LAN solution is designed for both the home user and small businessesand it is scalable so that users can be added and new network features can be enabled as networking needs grow. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in IEEE Std 802.11, 1999 Edition) that encrypts data sent over radio waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network being connecting to has enabled WEP, WEP must also be enabled in the network profile and the WEP key must be set to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, it is impossible to connect to the network. The Company 54g enabled notebook makes a wireless connection to a network, as illustrated on the following figure. Networks 1 and 2 are infrastructure type of networks. The two notebook computers connected by radio waves form an ad hoc type of network.

Introduction: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual Obtain the following information from the network administrator:
l Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks to connect to l WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key information (if any) for the networks to connect to l For Microsoft Windows networking, the customer name and workgroup name l For a network account, a user name and password l An IP address (if not using a DHCP server) Home Users The access point (AP) that communicates with the Company 54g enabled notebook has a preassigned network name
(SSID) that the notebook recognizes upon startup. To enable WEP, use any string of numbers for the WEP key. Upon startup, the Company 54g enabled notebook detects certain wireless networks (WLANs) that are within range. Before connecting to these and other wireless networks, configure a profile for each network.See Completing the setup. Using the Company 54g WLAN The Company 54g enabled notebook is an IEEE 802.11g based wireless LAN device. A LAN is composed of two or more computers that are connected to each other to share files or common equipment such as a printer or an Internet connection. A wireless LAN provides the same functionality of a wired network, but it eliminates the need to install networking cables and other networking equipment. Not only is a wireless LAN easier to deploy, but it also allows for roaming. For example, when using the Company 54g enabled notebook, it is possible to roam from a conference room to an office without being disconnected from the network. Features and Requirements An IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN includes the following features:
l Support for IEEE 802.11g draft specification l Support for IEEE 802.11b standard l 2.4-GHz band operation l Network data rate of up to 54 Mbit/s l Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption The following items are needed for participating in a wireless LAN:
l Company 54g enabled notebook computer running on a Microsoft Windows XP operating system l Software compact disc containing the drivers, software reference guide, and Help file The Company 54g enabled notebook works with any Wi-Fi CERTIFIED base station or wireless client adapter. file:///P|/User%20Manuals/HP%20XP%20WLAN%20Card/intro.htm (2 of 3) [1/30/03 10:11:16 PM]

Completing the Setup: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual Back to Contents Completing the Setup: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual NOTEBefore starting, obtain the required network information from the network administrator or the wireless access point installer (see The Company 54g WLAN Solution in Introduction). Modes of Operation Configuring a Network Profile Modes of Operation A wireless LAN can be configured for two different modes of operation: infrastructure network and computer-to-computer
(ad hoc) network. Whereas each mode has its advantages, one mode may be more appropriate than the other, depending on the location and type of network connection. Infrastructure Mode The key difference between the infrastructure type of network and an ad hoc network is that the infrastructure network includes a base station (host) computer that has a built-in wireless network adapter and is connected to a wireless access point (AP). This functionality allows computers on the infrastructure wireless LAN to access the resources and tools of the wired LAN, including Internet access, e-mail, file transfers, and printer sharing. Characteristics Networked computers communicate with each other through a dedicated AP. All data transmitted between the computers on this wireless LAN passes through the AP. Advantages l Extended range. The access point extends the range of the wireless LAN. Each computer can communicate with other computers equipped by wireless networks that are within the range of the access point. l Roaming. As the user moves around the home or office, the Company 54g enabled notebook determines the best access point to use to ensure continuous communication with the network. l Network connectivity. An access point can provide wireless LAN access to an existing wired network by bridging the two networks together. This gives users of the wireless LAN access to all the functions of a wired networkfrom file server access to e-mail and the Internet. Disadvantages Because the infrastructure mode offers more features, it requires additional components and setup time to deploy. file:///P|/User%20Manuals/HP%20XP%20WLAN%20Card/setup.htm (1 of 15) [1/30/03 10:11:18 PM]
Completing the Setup: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual Requirements A base station computer having a wired connection to the Internet, a wireless network adapter, and a connection to an AP. Computer-to-Computer Mode A peer-to-peer (ad hoc) network is the easiest to deploy and is ideal for home use or in small offices. This mode allows the sharing of files with other employees, printing to a shared office printer, and access to the Internet through a shared modem. With ad hoc networking, however, the computer is only able to communicate with other wireless networks that are within a certain range and are in the same wireless workgroup. Characteristics Networked computers send data directly to each other. Advantages l Simple setup l Cost efficiency Disadvantages Communication is limited to those who are located within a certain range.

The following information describes this restriction (please check ART's Web site (http://www.art-telecom.fr) for more up-
to-date information). Autorit de rgulation des tlecommunications (ART) has made decisions that will allow users to install WLAN ( wireless LAN) systems to provide high-speed Internet services primarily in high-traffic areas (called hot spots). ART recently released guidelines that establish the conditions for experimenting with the installation of public WLANs, such as for high-speed Internet access in locations that are currently being poorly served by existing networks. Such public WLANs would operate in the 2.4-GHz frequency band. This series of measures answers many of the concerns expressed during Art's public consultation on this topic. Decisions allowing the installation of wireless terminals in hot spots (train stations, airports, business centers, and the like): In agreement with the Ministry of Defense, ART has made two decisions setting the conditions for using wireless LANs in the 2.4-
GHz band. One of these decisions has been submitted to the Minister of Telecommunications for approval. These decisions will allow the installation of WLAN access points to provide public services in high-traffic public places. This will allow service providers and licensed operators to install access points using 2.4 GHz band technologies without authorization, under the following technical conditions:
1. In 38 dpartements (see Metropolitan Dpartements for listing):
l The 24002454 MHz band can be used both indoors and outdoors using systems (access points and devices) with less than 300 milliwatts (mW) of power. l The 24542483.5 MHz band can be used indoors using devices with less than 100 mW of power and can be used outdoors using devices with less than 10 mW of power. When the devices are being used outdoors on private property, the power may be increased to 100 mW after approval from the Ministry of Defense. 2. For the time being, in all other metropolitan dpartements, the conditions remain unchanged. The list of the first 38 dpartements will be progressively added to after 1 January 2003. 3. For the overseas dpartements (DOM), as well as Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Mayotte, the entire 24002483.5 MHz band may be used indoors and outdoors using devices with less than 100 mW of power, except for the Reunion Islands and Guyana, where the 24202483.5 MHz band may be used only outdoors using devices with less than 100 mW of power. ART reminds operators that these frequencies are used with no guarantee of nondisruption, and that the installations must respect all measures applying to radio installations (such as urban planning regulations). These decisions also allow the development of private uses. In particular, private networks (such as indoor corporate networks) can be established using these technologies. These conditions are tabulated below in Table of Authorized EIRP. Guidelines for Public WLAN Experimentation l Networks using WLAN technology will be granted a free authorization for up to 18 months under article L.33-1 of the Post and Telecommunications Code. These networks may use systems with 100 mW of power (effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP)) on the entire band, indoors and outdoors. Moreover, in the 2.4 GHz band (and providing this power limit is respected), fixed point-to-point links can be established for these networks needs, or frequencies can be requested in other ad hoc bands. l Private and public persons may submit applications to ART, provided that legislation and regulations allow them to do so. l Applications will be processed in a simplified way, in the spirit of the new "Authorization" Directive. l ART will send completed applications to the Ministry of Defense. The Ministry will then check that the projects are not located near any sensitive area and that they are not likely to cause disruptions to military equipment. For each application, ART will then submit its report and the draft authorization to the Minister of Telecommunications. l Applications can be sent from 12 November 2002 so that the first experiments may be launched as soon as early 2003. Full reviews are to be sent to ART at the end of the temporary authorizations to determine whether the technology guarantees quality and security to users. Metropolitan Departments The table below lists the 38 metropolitan dpartements that permit the use of WLAN systems using less than 100 mW of power
(EIRP) indoors across the entire 24002483.5 MHz band and outdoors on the 24002454 MHz band:

Troubleshooting: Company 54g Wireless LAN (WLAN) User Manual Data transfer is sometimes very slow. Data transfer is always very slow. Computers are not communicating with the network. Microwave ovens and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the Company 54g enabled notebook. When the microwave oven or cordless phone is in use, it interferes with the operation of the wireless network. Therefore, keep the Company 54g enabled notebook at least 20 feet away from microwave ovens and any cordless telephone that operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with the network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving the Company 54g enabled notebook to different locations in the building to see if performance improves. If the network has an access point (AP), check all of the cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the AP is green. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct (see Viewing or Modifying the Wireless Network Properties). Also, make sure the computer is receiving a good signal from the access point. Getting Help Technical support is available online on Company Web site.
