Connecting Vaio Computers - Sony PCG-R505DF VAIO User Manual

Connecting VAIO Computers

You may use an optional i.LINK®
another VAIO computer that has the preinstalled Microsoft® Windows®
operating system or the Sony Smart Connect software preinstalled. You may use
an i.LINK cable (not supplied) to connect the two systems and then use one
computer to edit, copy, or delete files on the other computer. You can also print
from a printer that is attached to either computer.
To connect VAIO computers that do not have the latest Windows® operating
system, Smart Connect software may be necessary. Consult the Sony Web site for
support options (http://www.sony.com/pcsupport).
Connecting with an i.LINK cable
✍
When you connect two VAIO computers, you must assign each computer a unique
name. The computers can be identified by this unique name when the two computers
are networked together.
* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394
connection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, oper-
ating system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may
not communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with your compati-
ble i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before
connecting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals to your system, such as CD-RW or hard disk
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.
