Very few of us today sit at our desks all day. If we're not traveling across the country we're traveling across campus or moving to a conference room. And getting connected in the office, at home, in the dorm or at a coffee shop, airport or hotel can be very challenging.

This is where ThinkVantage Access Connections can help. Its connectivity solutions go far beyond those provided by the operating system alone. Microsoft® Windows® XP Zero Configuration and other configuration utilities simply do not have the same breadth of hardware coverage and related networking/Internet settings.

After you save the basic settings for your various profiles, here are some of the ways Access Connections can help you get — and stay — connected:

  • Automatically manages your basic network connections.
  • Manages your printing by automatically reassigning the Microsoft Windows default printer to match your location.
  • Automatically adjusts your network configuration.

Manage your security through Access Connections

Access Connections gives you a one-stop interface so you can manage your connectivity and wireless security settings in one program; there is no need to run another utility.

Get the most convenient secure wireless computing

The Integrated Fingerprint Reader, available on select ThinkPad models, can also be used for wireless authentication. You can use this convenient biometric solution as a replacement for a logon password.
