Enhancing Productivity
Using the i.LINK® port

Using the i.LINK
®
port
The i.LINK
®
port on the rear of the computer provides an
extremely fast data transfer rate (up to 400 mega bits per
second [Mbps]). You can connect up to 63 external devices to
the i.LINK
®
port.
In addition to high speed, the i.LINK
®
port also supports
isochronous data — the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate.
This makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data
in real-time, such as video devices.
As with USB ports, the i.LINK
®
port supports both Plug-and-
Play (automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability
to connect and disconnect devices while the computer is on).
The main difference between i.LINK
®
and USB technology is
that i.LINK
®
supports faster data transfer rates.
Connecting your modem to a telephone line
Your computer comes with a built-in modem that can be
connected to a standard voice-grade telephone line.
The modem allows you to:
❖ Access the Internet.
❖ Communicate with your office’s local area network
(LAN), or a larger corporate wide area network (WAN).
For specific information about connecting to a LAN or WAN,
consult your network administrator.
❖ Send a fax directly from your computer.
For more detailed information regarding your computer’s
modem, visit Toshiba’s web site at toshiba.com.
