Expanding Your Computer 4-7Connecting a Bluetooth-compliant Device(option)NOTE: To take advantage of the Bluetooth feature, the Bluetooth driver supplied withyour computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).Your computer has a Bluetooth port for connecting a Bluetooth-compliant device wirelessly. Bluetooth is a short-range wirelesscommunications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities canexchange information over a distance of about 10 meters (30 feet)without requiring a physical connection.Unlike infrared, you do not need to line up the devices to beaminformation with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range ofabout 10 meters. You can even beam information to a device in adifferent room, as long as it is within range.You may use Bluetooth in the following ways:• Beam Information – such as files, appointments, tasks, and contactcards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. For example,if you and a co-worker each have a device with Bluetooth, you canbeam items between your devices, such as files, contact cards,appointments, tasks, and so forth.• Create a dial-up modem connection – between your device and aBluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem.Bluetooth operates in three different modes:• On – the Bluetooth radio is turned on and you can use Bluetoothfeatures.• Off – the Bluetooth radio is turned off. In this mode, you can neithersend nor receive information by using Bluetooth. You might want toturn the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or insituations where radio use is prohibited, such as on airplanes and inhospitals.
4-8 Expanding Your Computer• Discoverable – the Bluetooth radio is turned on, and all of the otherBluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can detect yourdevice and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use aBluetooth service. In this mode, other devices can detect your devicewhether or not a bond has been created; however, in order to receive abeam from another device, you must accept it on your device.About BondsA bond is a relationship that you create between your computer andanother Bluetooth device in order to help exchange information in asecure manner. Creating a bond involves entering the same PIN on thetwo devices you want to bond. Once a bond is created, the devices needonly have their Bluetooth radios turned on to exchange information; theydo not need to be in discoverable mode.You need only create a bond once between two devices. Thereafter, theyrecognize the bond and are able to exchange information without yourentering a PIN again.
Expanding Your Computer 4-9Connecting an IEEE 1394 DeviceYour computer has an IEEE 1394 port on the right side of the computerfor connecting 1394 devices.IEEE 1394 is the next-generation serial bus standard, featuring high-speed data transfer, multi-channel communication link, and “Hot Plug”connectivity. It allows connection of up to 63 devices. The applicationsinclude not only computer peripheral devices such as scanner, printer andhigh-quality CCD, but also consumer electronic equipment such asDVCAM and VCR.To connect an 1394 device, simply plug the device cable to the IEEE1394 port of the system.
4-10 Expanding Your ComputerConnecting a Video Capture DeviceNOTE: To take advantage of the AV input port, the Video Capture driver supplied withyour computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).Your computer has an AV input port on the rear of the computer forconnecting a video capture device such as high-quality CCD, as well asconsumer electronic equipment such as DVCAM and VCR.To connect a video capturing device, simply plug the device cable to theAV input port (conexant 878A PCI; BNC-type) of the system.System Memory UpgradeYou can upgrade your computer by changing system memory to amaximum of 1 GB on the two 200-pin PC2100 DDR SO-DIMM slots.However, to avoid damage during the installation procedure, please askyour dealer for help.
