Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use WWANs to access the Internet from more places

and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a network

service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone network

operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.

When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay

connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on the

road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.

HP supports the following technologies:

●

HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global

System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.

●

EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code division

multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.

●

LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.

The serial number is printed on a label on the bottom of your computer.

Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about you,

such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers include

a SIM that is preinstalled in the SIM slot. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP

Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator may

provide it separately from the computer.

For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see the

section in this chapter.

For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile

network operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your computer.

Chapter 3 Connecting to a network

ENWW

Connecting to a wired network (via optional
docking device)

A local area network (LAN) is a wired connection. A LAN connection uses a RJ-45 network cable (sold

separately) and an optional docking device.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a

modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.

Connecting to a local area network (LAN)

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of

working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.

Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable and optional docking device.

To connect the network cable, follow these steps:

1.

Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the docking device of the computer.

2.

Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.

NOTE:

If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference

from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
