How to select a Wireless LAN channel

In an 802.11b/g configuration, channels 1 to 13 can be used.

(a) With an Access Point ("Infrastructure")

The channel used will be the channel selected by the Access Point.

For details on how to select the channel that will be used by the Access Point, please refer to the corresponding instruction manual.

(b) Without Access Point ("computer-to-computer")

If the Wireless connection is initiated by the VAIO computer, channel 11 will be selected.

If the Wireless connection is initiated by a peer Wireless LAN equipment, the Wireless LAN communication will make use of the channel selected by the peer Wireless LAN equipment.

In France, outdoors, Wireless LAN connections are only allowed on certain channels. For details, please refer to the Wireless LAN Regulations booklet.
