DVD-ROM drives, standard on some models, differ from CD-ROM and CD-RW
drives as the result of refinements in laser technology.
The recording tracks on DVD media are not as deep and are more condensed than on
CDs or CD-RWs, therefore DVDs provide more storage space. DVD media also use
both sides of the disk, as opposed to just one side for CDs and CD-RWs.
DVD-ROM drives read traditional CDs, CD-RWs, and DVDs.
ADSL modems, available on some models, enable simultaneous internet connectivity
and telephone service. Contact your local telephone service provider and ask if your
premises need any additional telephony equipment, such as a splitter or a filter. Also
contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine if they provide service to
customers with ADSL.
ADSL modems work by using separately the individual four or six wires in the
standard RJ-11 telephone jack. The inner wires, or pairs of wires if there are six, carry
voice transmissions. The outer wires on either side carry data between your computer
and the Internet. One channel is data download; the other is data upload.
The power supply of the computer supports the Wake on LAN feature. With the Wake
on LAN feature, the computer can be turned on when a specific LAN frame is passed
to the computer over the LAN.
To find out if the Wake on LAN feature is set, refer to the menu item for Wake on LAN
in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the User Guide for help with using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
All models can be configured to turn on the computer after a ring is detected from an
external or internal modem. Use the menu for setting the Wake on Ring feature in the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program. See the User Guide for help with using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. Two options control this feature:
• Serial Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an external modem
connected to the serial port.
• Modem Ring Detect: Use this option if the computer has an internal modem.
