Operating Basics Wireless communications The computer's wireless communication function supports both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth devices. 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 Draft N). Supported features. It supports the following features: ◆ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 9 and 6 Mbit/s (Revision A and G). ◆ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s (Revision B). ◆ Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A/Draft N: 5 GHz, Revision B/G/ Draft N: 2.4GHz) ◆ Roaming over multiple channels ◆ Card Power Management ◆ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit encryption algorithm (Atheros module type). ◆ 11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has not been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapters are based on the Draft Release, Version 1.0, of the IEEE 802.11n specification. An adapter with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or 11a/b/g/n can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual connection will be based on the access point to which it connects. ◆ Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in Draft 11n mode is not guaranteed. ◆ The Draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. Draft 11n mode can be used only with WPA-PSK(AES) mode or no security mode. OPERATING BASICS User's Manual 4-53
