Operating Basics

Wireless LAN

The Wireless LAN supports the b, g standards and n* draft2.0 but it is

compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence Spread

Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology

that complies with IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN standard.
* Depends on the installed Wireless LAN module.

■

Roaming over multiple channels

■

Card Power Management

■

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit

encryption algorithm.

■

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256 bit

encryption algorithm.

■

Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a

microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic

fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.

■

Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functionalities off when near a person who

may have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric

device. Radio waves may affect pacemaker or medical device

operation, possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction of

your medical device when using any Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality.

■

Always turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth functionality if the computer is near

automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or

fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

■

It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified

network name using the ad hoc network function.

If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all

computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable

network connections.

* Please be sure to use new network name.

■

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over

which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding

electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The

transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as

specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission

speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key FN+F8.
