Wireless Communication Switch - Toshiba Portege A200 User Manual

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit
encryption algorithm (Intel module type).
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256 bit
encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).
The numerical values for display are the theoretical maximums for
Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ.
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over
which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.
The Transmit Rate (xx Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed under
the IEEE802.11 (b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed will be
lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
To use the Atheros SuperG
must support the corresponding feature. Performance of these
functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
Security
Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
will allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP
function.
TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
