Wireless LAN

Some computers in this series are equipped with

 

 

a Wireless LAN mini-PCI card that is compatible

 

 

with other LAN systems based on Direct

 

 

Sequence Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 152 bit encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 128 bit encryption algorithm (Intel module type).

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256 bit encryption algorithm.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).Wake-up on Wireless LAN (Intel module type).

The numerical values shown above are the theoretical maximums for Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ.

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The Transmit Rate (at X Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed under the IEEE802.11 (a/b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

The Wake-up on Wireless function is effective only when it is connected with AP. This function becomes invalid when the connection is cut.
