Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
The PC card described in this document is approved for use in a Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN).
The Nokia D311 PC card supports the following WLAN features:
•
IEEE 802.11b standard
•
Data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbit/s
•
Operation at a frequency of 2.412 - 2.462 GHz using Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology
•
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption with keys up to 152 bits.
The Nokia D311 PC card enables you to connect compatible laptop computers,
hand-held devices, desktop PCs, and other devices with a type II or III PC card slot
to a local area network through a WLAN access point. Instead of cables, radio
waves are used to transmit and receive data over the air.
If you move the computer to another location within the WLAN and out of range
of a WLAN access point, the roaming functionality can automatically connect
your computer to another access point that belongs to the same network. As long
as you remain within range of access points that belong to the same network, your
computer can stay connected to the network.
