Outline

This section explains features of the wireless LAN
function and what you can do using this LAN
function.
Features of the wireless LAN
function
Some of major features are listed below.
• Since the Wireless LAN function uses a 2.4-
GHz low-power communications system, the
user does not need to acquire a license re-
lated to wireless communications.
• The Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DD-
SS) scheme is employed that is highly resist-
ant to noise.
• This LAN function complies with "Wi-Fi" and
allows wireless communications at a maxi-
mum communications speed of 11 Mbps.
• The use of the required network name (SSID)
and network key allows accessing by unau-
thorized persons to be prevented.

Network configuration of the
wireless LAN
The use of the wireless LAN function allows con-
nection to any of the following two types of net-
works:
Ad hoc connection
The network constructed by the personal com-
puters containing the wireless LAN function is
referred to as the "ad hoc wireless LAN", and the
connection method used in this case is referred
as "ad hoc connection."
The use of this function allows you to exchange
files and share a printer, by selecting the func-
tions, such as "Network Connection", that the
Microsoft network supports.
To use ad hoc connection, it is necessary to en-
ter the same network name (SSID) and the same
network key for all the personal computers that
are to be connected. If there are any channels
to be used for wireless LAN connection, it is also
necessary to assign the same data to the chan-
nels. Communication is possible, provided that
the personal computers to communicate with
each other are located within the respective in-
tercommunication service areas. Network con-
nection can be implemented easily and at low
costs by using ad hoc connection.
