Operating Basics 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 or G). ■ Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps (IEEE802.11a, 802.11g) ■ Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps (IEEE802.11b) ■ Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A: 5 GHz, Revision B/G: 2.4 GHz) ■ Roaming over multiple channels ■ Card Power Management ■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 152 bit encryption algorithm (Atheros module type). ■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 128 bit encryption algorithm (Intel module type). ■ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). ■ Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption. ■ The values shown above are the theoretical maximums for Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ. ■ 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.

Security ■ TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable WEP (encryption) functionality, otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider may illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of stored data. ■ TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof. Bluetooth wireless technology Some models in this series are equipped with Bluetooth™ wireless technology that eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones. You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth SD card 3 simultaneously. Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features: 4-34 User's Manual

Operating Basics

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 or G).

■

Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps (IEEE802.11a, 802.11g)

■

Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps (IEEE802.11b)

■

Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A: 5 GHz, Revision B/G: 2.4

GHz)

■

Roaming over multiple channels

■

Card Power Management

■

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 152 bit

encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).

■

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on 128 bit

encryption algorithm (Intel module type).

■

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

■

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption.

Security

■

TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable WEP (encryption)

functionality, otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by

an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider may

illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or

destruction of stored data.

■

TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or

illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

Bluetooth wireless technology

Some models in this series are equipped with Bluetooth™ wireless

technology that eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices

such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones.

You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth

SD card 3 simultaneously.

Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

■

The values shown above are the theoretical maximums for Wireless

LAN standards. The actual values may differ.

■

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.
