Disconnect the cable from the LAN hub in the same manner. Check with your LAN administrator before disconnecting from the hub. Wireless LAN The wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems that comply with the IEEE 802.11a/g wireless LAN standards. It supports the following: ■ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54, 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s. ■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 128bit encryption algorithm. (Revision G combo type.) Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN. ■ Frequency Channel Selection (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) ■ Roaming over multiple channels ■ Card Power Management ■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption Network It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections. * Please be sure to use new network name. Security 1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WEP encryption function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition, the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore, an unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges. 2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur thereof. 4-14 Satellite M100
