Wireless LAN Connection

The optional built-in wireless LAN is a compact easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter.
Implementing the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless
LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz
frequencies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE
802.11 standards allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards.
The optional built-in wireless LAN is a client adapter that supports Infrastructure and Ad-hoc
modes giving you flexibility on your existing or future wireless network configurations for distances
up to 40 meters between the client and the access point.
To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN
comes with a 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA) features.
Ad-hoc mode
The Ad-hoc mode allows the Notebook PC
to connect to another wireless device. No
access point (AP) is required in this wireless
environment.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wireless LAN adapters.)
Infrastructure mode
The Infrastructure mode allows the Notebook
PC and other wireless devices to join a wireless
network created by an Access Point (AP) (sold
separately) that provides a central link for wireless
clients to communicate with each other or with a
wired network.
(All devices must install optional 802.11 wireless LAN adapters.)
