Wireless Local Area Network

Overview

The Wireless LAN removes all of the trouble of cable connections and helps to build a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) environment.

This device is equipped with a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g compliant). IEEE802.11g is capable of higher speed communication than IEEE802.11b.

Note: 5 GHz wireless LAN (IEEE80.11a) technology and 2.4 GHz wireless LAN (IEEE8022.11b/g) technology do not work together due to different frequencies.

There are two types of wireless LAN connection topologies:

•Infrastructure mode which has a network structure based on a wireless LAN access point. The VGX-XL100 personal computer can act as an access point for a LAN setup. When Infrastructure mode is used, you can

enjoy the Internet and E-mail communications where ever a wireless access point is set up. Also, a broadband network is possible if you communicate with an access point connected to ADSL modem, etc. Furthermore, this device itself can be used as an access point.

Note: You may need to enter into a contract with a wireless LAN connection service provider to use wireless LAN communications when you are away.
