Introduction LAN Wireless LAN The computer is equipped with a LAN card that supports Fast Ethernet LAN (100 Mbit/s, 100BASE-TX) or Gigabit Ethernet LAN (1 Gbit/s, 1000BASE-T). It is preinstalled as a standard device in some markets. (depending on model you purchased) Where present, it supports the A,B,G and draft N standards but it is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum / Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology that complies with the IEEE 802.11 Standard. ■ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9 and 6 Mbit/s. (IEEE 802.11a/g) ■ Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s. (IEEE 802.11b) ■ Roaming over multiple channels ■ Card Power Management ■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 128 bit encryption algorithm. ■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 128 bit encryption algorithm. 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.
