Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)

This function enables you to establish a network connection to a
corresponding remote station. Please read about the necessary
requirements. The Wi-Fi function is enabled and disabled via the
Windows ® menu and is activated by default.
Do not operate the Wi-Fi function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, airplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are
sure it will cause no interference.
Requirements
A so called Wi-Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi-Fi
access point is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your
laptop and controls access to the connected network.
Wi-Fi access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train
stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular
services and networks or to the Internet.
Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage
charges. Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so called
routers establish the connection to the existing DSL Internet connection
and the Wi-Fi.
A connection can also be established to another end device with Wi-Fi
functionality without an access point. Without a router, however, the
network is restricted to those devices directly connected to it.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used
for all devices. Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from
unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of
users accessing the remote station.
