5.5 IEEE 802.11B (WIRELESS LAN)

The IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN interface card is available as an option for this machine.

A wireless LAN is a flexible data communication system used to extend or replace a wired

LAN. Wireless LAN employs radio frequency technology to transmit and receive data over

the air and minimize the need for wired connections.

With wireless LANs, users can access information on a network without looking for a

place to plug into the network.

Network managers can set up or expand networks without installing or moving wires.

Most wireless LANs can be integrated into existing wired networks. Once installed, the

network treats wireless nodes like any other physically wired network component.

Flexibility and mobility make wireless LANs both effective extensions of and attractive

alternatives to wired networks.
