Operating Basics

Wireless LAN

The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum / Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology that complies with the IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN standard.

Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or/and IEEE802.11n

Frequency Channel Selection of 2.4GHz for IEEE 802.11b/g or/and IEEE802.11n

Roaming over multiple channels

Card power management

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption based on an 128-bit encryption algorithm

Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA™)

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Setting

1.Please make sure that the Wireless Communication Function is on.

2.Click Start ->Control Panel ->Network and Internet ->Network and Sharing Center.

3.Click Set up a new connection or network.

4.Follow the wizard. You will need the name of the wireless network together with security settings. Consult the documentation accompanied with your router or ask your wireless network administrator for the settings.
