Wireless LAN Connection (on selected models)

The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter. Implementing

the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of

fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency

Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional built-in wire-

less LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802.11 standards allowing seamless interfacing

of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes

giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances up to 40

meters between the client and the access point.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes

with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

features.

Ad-hoc mode

The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC to connect

to another wireless device. No access point (AP) is

required in this wireless environment.

(All devices must install optional 802�11 wireless LAN adapters�)

Infrastructure mode

The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook PC and

other wireless devices to join a wireless network cre-

ated by an Access Point (AP) (sold separately) that

provides a central link for wireless clients to commu-

nicate with each other or with a wired network.
