WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■The WLAN device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g and operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz UNII bands.

■The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max- imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference.

■Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre- quency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi- ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. (Figure A-3)The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wireless LAN models.

Deactivation using Intel PROSet for Wireless Utility

The WLAN device can be deactivated in Windows using the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility. The procedure to accomplish this:

1.Click [Start]-> [All Programs].

2.Select Intel ProSet Wireless, then click on Intel ProSet Wireless from the menu that appears. The Intel ProSet Wireless utility will be displayed.

3.At the bottom left corner of the window, select Wireless Off from the dropdown list.

ACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Activation of the WLAN device can be accomplished using the same methods as the deactivation process
