Before Using the Optional Wireless LAN

This manual describes the procedures required to properly set up and configure the optional integrated
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using
the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference.

Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document

This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following devices:
• Integrated Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (802.11agn 2x2)
• Atheros XSPAN 802.11bg)

Characteristics of the WLAN Device

• The WLAN devices are Mini-PCI cards attached to the main board of the mobile computer.
• The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, eliminating the need to procure an FCC
operating license. The WLAN operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF
band and the lower, middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (UNII) bands.
• The WLAN devices are capable of four operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b,
IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n
• The WLAN devices are Wi-Fi certified and operate at a the maximum data rate of 540 Mbps
(theoretical) in IEEE802.11n mode; 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode; and 11 Mbps
in IEEE802.11b mode.
• The WLAN devices support the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, CKIP, and AES
encryption.
• The Wireless LAN devices are compliant with the following standards: WPA, WPA2, CCX1.0,
CCX2.0, CCX3.0, and CCX4.0.
