Wireless LAN
The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum radio technology that complies with IEEE
802.11 Wireless LAN standard (Revision A or B) and Turbo Mode. It
supports the following features:
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of
54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9 and 6 Mbit/s. (Revision A)
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of
11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbit/s. (Revision B)
Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of
108, 96, 72, 48, 36, 24, 18 and 12 Mbit/s. (Turbo Mode)
Frequency Channel Selection (Revision A/Turbo Mode: 5 GHz,
Revision B: 2.4 GHz)
Roaming over multiple channels
Card Power Management
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 152 bit
RC4 encryption algorithm.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on the
256 bit encryption algorithm.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
Radio links
You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is
maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
1. Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it
impossible to falsify the origin of a message.
2. Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
Wireless communication switch
You can enable or disable Wireless LAN functions, with the on/off switch.
No transmissions are sent or received when the switch is off. Slide the
switch toward the left of the computer to turn it on and toward the right of
the computer to turn it off.
Set the switch to off in airplanes and hospitals. Check the indicator. It will
stop glowing when the wireless communication function is off.
