Operating Basics Wireless communications The computer's wireless communication function supports both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth devices. All models are provided with Wireless Communication switch. Some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. 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 IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN standard (Revision A, B, G or N Draft Ver. 1.0). Do not install or remove a memory module while Wake-up on Wireless LAN is enabled. ■ The Wake-up on Wireless LAN function consumes power even when the system is off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this feature. ■ The Wake-up on Wireless LAN function is effective only when it is connected with an Access Point. This function becomes invalid when the connection is broken. ■ Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or 2.4GHz for 802.11b/g ■ Roaming over multiple channels ■ Card power management ■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit encryption algorithm ■ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) support ■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption ■ Wake-up on Wireless LAN 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 Switch is turned on. 2. Click Start and then click Connect To to display Connect to a network window. User's Manual 4-34
