Channel The channel number currently being used for the communications is displayed. Confirming connection After you have finished the network setup operations, access the folder whose sharing has been set for other personal computers. Also, confirm the status of the radio waves in case of trouble such as a network connection failure. In the case of access point (infrastructure) connection, enter the necessary data for the access point before confirming connection. Refer to the manual of the access point for the access point setup procedure. Connecting your personal computer to another personal computer 1. Click [View workgroup computers] under Network Tasks in the left frame. Double-click the personal computer to which your personal computer is to be connected. The folder that was specified in "Setting the file-sharing function" on page 56 will be displayed. For further details, see "Preparation for wireless LAN connection" on page 53.

[. . . ] A form of memory in which information is stored by physically altering the material. Data stored in this way can not be changed by your LifeBook notebook and does not require power to maintain it. Shadow RAM A technique of copying data or applications stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) into RAM (Random Access Memory) for access during actual operation. RAM is much faster to access than ROM, however ROM contents are not lost when power is removed. [. . . ]
