Roaming over multiple channels
Card Power Management
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption
Wireless LAN disclaimer
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The
actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum
speed.
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.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
