Introduction

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) allow mobile computers to communicate wirelessly and send data to a
host device in real time. Before using the vehicle computer on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required

provided with the access points (APs) for instructions on setting up the hardware.
