LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four
Device Ports
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC and the optional Port
Replicator come equipped with multiple Device Ports to
which you can connect an external device including: disk
drives, keyboards, modems, printers, etc.
MODEM (RJ-11) JACK
The modem (RJ-11) jack is used for an internal modem.
To connect the telephone cable follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-6 on page 12 for location)
1. Align the connector with the jack opening.
2. Push the connector into the jack until it is seated.
3. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into a
telephone outlet.
INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK
The internal LAN (RJ-45) jack is used for an internal
Fast Ethernet (10/100 Base-T/Tx) connection. You will
need to configure your Tablet PC to work with your
particular network. (Please refer to your network
administrator for information on your network configu-
ration.) To connect the LAN cable follow these easy
steps: (See Figure 2-7 on page 13 for location)
1. Align the connector with the jack opening.
2. Push the connector into the jack until it is seated.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN outlet.
DOCKING PORT
The docking port is used for the connection of your
Tablet PC to an optional port replicator. In order to
connect your Tablet PC to one of these devices follow the
instructions that came with your docking port. (See
Figure 2-8 on page 14 for location)
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS
The two Universal Serial Bus 2.0 ports (USB) allow you
to connect USB devices such as external floppy disk
drives, external CD and DVD drives, game pads,
pointing devices, keyboards and/or speakers. USB 2.0 is
downward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so older
USB devices will work with these ports. USB 2.0 is a
much faster design, running forty times faster than
USB 1.1.
In order to connect a USB device, follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-7 on page 13 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
INFRARED PORT
The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4 Mbps) port allows for wireless
data transfer between your Tablet PC and other IrDA-
compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-7 on
page 13 for location)
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out
this form of communication, both devices must be
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstruction. The devices must also be
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for
maximum performance.
The following conditions may interfere with infrared
communications:
■
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless
headphone is being used nearby.
■
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light
shines directly on the port.
The internal modem is not intended for
use with Digital PBX systems. Do not
connect the internal modem to a Digital
PBX as it may cause serious damage to the
internal modem or your entire LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC. Consult your PBX
manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Some hotels have Digital PBX systems. Be
sure to find out BEFORE you connect your
modem.
■
The internal modem is designed to the
ITU V.90 standard. Its maximum speed
of 53000 bps is the highest allowed by
FCC, and its actual connection rate
depends on the line conditions. The
maximum speed is 33600 bps at upload.
■
The internal modem on all LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC’s from Fujitsu PC
Corporation are certified for use in the
United States and Canada.
■
Depending upon the configuration of
your system, your LifeBook Tablet PC
may have either a LAN jack or an IEEE
1394 jack.
Note that the optional Port Replicator is
designed to cover the LAN jack located on
the system. This design ensures that the
LAN jack on the Port Replicator is the only
one used when the Port Replicator is
installed.
