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) and Turbo Mode.
Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps (IEEE802.11a, 802.11g)
Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps (IEEE802.11b)
Theoretical maximum speed: 108Mbps (Turbo Mode; Atheros module
type)
Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A:5 GHz, Revision B/G: 2.4
GHz)
Roaming over multiple channels
Card Power Management
Atheros Super G
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 152 bit
encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit
encryption algorithm (Intel module type).
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256
bit encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
The numerical values for display 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 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 Transmit Rate (xx Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed under
the IEEE802.11 (a/b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed will be
lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
To use the Atheros SuperG
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of
these functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
Security
Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
will allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP
function.
TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
