Connecting Through a Wireless LAN Option

Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Option)

A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN devices.

Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal network functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. Using computer-to- computer network (ad hoc) connections, you can access the Internet through a computer connected directly to the Internet even if your computer is not directly connected to the Internet. For details, see “Using Network Services” on page 48

To turn off the Wireless LAN

If the wireless LAN is turned on, the computer consumes more power, therefore shortening the amount of time you can run on battery. If you are not using the WLAN or if you are in an environment that does not provide WLAN, you are recommended to turn off the WLAN by pushing the WLAN button (p10) on the computer.

Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.

1) Access Point (AP)

You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is possible only in an environment equipped with an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 36
