Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models)
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implement-
ing the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is
capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Or-
thogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.11 standards
allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes
giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances up
to 40 meters between the client and the access point.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN
comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA) features.
Ad-hoc mode
The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC
to connect to another wireless device. No
access point (AP) is required in this wireless
environment.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wire-
less LAN adapters.)
Infrastructure mode
The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook
PC and other wireless devices to join a wire-
less network created by an Access Point (AP)
(sold separately) that provides a central link
for wireless clients to communicate with each
other or with a wired network.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wire-
less LAN adapters.)
