Broadband Internet connections
You can use your notebook’s Ethernet jack for more than just networking.
Many broadband Internet connections, such as cable modems and DSL
modems, connect to your notebook’s Ethernet jack. For more information,
see “Using the Internet” on page 75 and “Networking Your Notebook” on
page 173.
Installing a printer, scanner, or other
peripheral device
Your computer or docking station has one or more of the following ports:
IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire
®
or i.Link
®
), Universal Serial Bus (USB),
serial, and parallel. These ports are used for connecting peripheral devices such
as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to your computer. For more
information about port locations, see “Checking Out Your Gateway 200” on
page 1 and “Checking Out Your Docking Station” on page 15.
IEEE 1394 and USB ports support
plug-and-play
and
hot swapping
, which means
that your computer will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug
it into the appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device for
the first time, your computer will prompt you to install any software the
device needs. After doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect the device
at any time.
Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. Refer to the device
documentation for detailed information and installation instructions.
